Hmmm ... if you're using Firefox, go to http://boston.conman.org/ You'll notice the "Obligatory Picture" on the left. Then select from the menu "View->Page Style->April Fool's 2006" and then scroll down a bit. You'll then notice that the "Obligatory Picture" is now below the Amazon ads (which themselves have shifted down) on the right hand side. I did not use floats for either style, nor did I play with layers. Granted, it took some playing around with but since I don't really *care* for IE compatibility it's not all that hateful (just some). -spc (Hateful: Google AdSense, which is mostly nonsense from what I've seen on my own blog ... )There's stuff above here
