Tried before but kept running into problems. Joe – I’ll take a good hard look at it tomorrow and see if I can’t tweak the column sizes a bit more. Tried before but kept running into problems.

The content on your page is the most important piece of the page (at least I'm assuming it is), so it should have a higher visual priority. If it were me, I'd squeeze the far right column a little bit more to make it the same width as the middle one (~200px), and widen the content even more still. As it is now it gives the impression that the middle one is getting pinched, but it is better than it was. (You asked ;) ) I think it does help, even if the difference is minor.

Don't know if it helped any? Joe – Ok, changed the width of the layout, and gave #content 27 more pixels. Don’t know if it helped any?

Right now its only 510px, which is only about 50% of your real estate. You could go 60/40 without losing ad space, especially if they stack, and you'd get more content above the fold.

I like it and did as you suggested. The two with animation unfortunately have to stay as they don't offer any that size without it. Believe me I'd love not to have the animation, but oh well. Nick - If anything I might get a header/logo done in the next couple of weeks. If I do I'll get in touch with you. Joe and Blackysky - You both seem to be suggesting the same thing in "squeezing the sidebars" which I assume means making them thinner and the content area thicker? Fc – Thanks for the suggestion.
