I've invented a new word!

That word is "scrool." It means: the phenomenon of websites that are so wide that a horizontal scrolling bar appears at the bottom of your browser, and you have to move it back and forth to see the content.

And I have just noticed that for some odd reason my blog "scrools." What's that all about... I'm still tweaking. I'll get this thing set up properly some day...

Try the second piece of code Mary sent me! NOW, dammit!

What sort of works is setting the left column width at 200 pixels or so, and the right at 70%. No, I have no idea why it works. But that solved my problems.

The Banner div is set to 900px in your style sheet, which I believe is causing your scroolage. If you do a select all, you can see the bit that's jutting out...

I didn't notice any problems before, but I guess that's because I use Netscape. Scrooling seems to be an IE problem.

Under the #content tag, position:absolute; seems to be important, but the width can be variable, (65%, 70%)

Good, it worked. I'm feeling so confindent with MT today, I think I'll try adding fading links -

thanks for the url!

The problem actually seemed to be my body margins. I changed them all to 10px, and the width to 75% and now it seems to behave, at least in IE at 1024 X 768.
