Web site broken, please help
I've spent the best part of an evening trying to tidy up this site, make it a bit more presentable, but I can't find the solution to a layout/CSS problem and it's driving me nuts.
I've swiped the simple two-column layout from Floatutorial, which I rather like the look of. With normal text, the CSS works fine. But when I add the gubbins from Blogger, something breaks; any content I put into the left column pushes content in the right column further down the page, with a huge long gap between the top-most post title and the content to which it relates. I've spent hours trying to fix it but I'm flummoxed.
If any of you clever types have five minutes spare to examine the template file I'm using, laugh at my stupidity, and point out my error, I'll be gratefully in your debt.
Update: Web site mended now. I started again, from scratch, with a completely different template (Roger Johansson's simple two-column layout for the Blogger template and Anton Andreasson's big buttons for the more page. I find it frustrating that the promise of CSS is something so simple and so powerful, but the reality for amateurs like me can be hours of cursing and exasperated hand-waving in front of the computer. I knew the effect I wanted was possible, I just didn't understand (a) why it wasn't working and (b) what I had to change to make it work.
And Seb - thanks for your help. I owe you a pint.
