The problem in your lies in your CSS selector - you have specified .blockheader which is read by the browser as apply these rules to a class named blockheader. You actually want to apply them to the div named block header, which would be achieved using the #blockheader selector.
As for the various hacks there are other layouts that avoid using them, there should be various links on the WSG site, such as http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/.

My site is at http://www.gameplan.org.uk/ and the css is at http://www.gameplan.org.uk/styles/gplan.css I have 2 questions:- 1) Why does the left header text not take the blockheader attributes it has been given? 2) The css is based on a template from bluerobot.com (full atttribution in the css) - are the various hacks there neccessary and correct? Many thanks for your time.
