Hi Zach,

I suggest floating instead of positioning.

Also, this is very good read on this subject:

Good luck!

Absolute positioning makes you dependent on knowing what column will
be the highest, with floats you don't need that knowledge. On the
other hand, absolute positioning seems to be better supported by real
old browsers like NS4.x and Mac IE.

Floating allows for more flexible layouts, IMHO.
