Three columns!

Well, I've been playing with the style sheet and templates and I've been able to introduce a third column to my page display. It now gives me a column on the left with whatever I have hardcoded in my templates (this is where I need to expand it to include links or whatever) and a column in the middle with my actual blog content, but it then puts the third column below the other two columns.

I'll try to represent that here:

111|222|
111|222|
___|___|333

Clearly I'm missing something, but I'm not at all sure what. I added a "float:right" directive in the style for the #Links column which pushed it all over to the right instead of being centered at the bottom of the page, but I don't understand why it is not aligning to the top of the column like it did before I created this additional division type.

Well, clearly I still need to do some more work on it.

I have thought of four basic categories at present.

First, Computing which would include Internet, blogging, programming, hardware (not much of that), etc.

Second, Faith and Religion which would touch on my life at church, my faith journey (still very much in development and has been for many years), theological thoughts, etc.

Third is community. This would concern my family and friends, work, extended acquaintences through the internet, etc. It might even get into politics as our world continues to shrink and our ability to connect anywhere increases.

Finally an area I am calling media. This includes books (I have been a fan of Fantasy novels, especially long continuing series, for a long time), maybe comics and comic books (I read a lot of strips online plus what is in my local paper, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and I used to collect comics extensively, I still have more than 20,000 in my basement), television and movies (I don't follow as many shows and movies as many people, but I see a few), and music where my primary musical interest is in folk music.

I guess I should probably put this comment in a more visible location on the blog. I'll get the hang of this eventually.
