Yuck.
Anything I can't stand is a split format like that.
My browser has an 800x resolution so now I'm forced to deal with dual scroll
bars.
I don't care for the mug shot at all. Specially one that size. You could
downsize it and put it up in one of the corners. Leaving more space to work
with.
One thing I've learned to do is quite simple. Define a container division
for your entire page.
#container{ width:1000px; height:1000px;}.
or even #container{height:1000px;} and let the browser determine the width.
Now you have ample space to work with and only one scroll bar.
Positioning items is only needed for certain items. Not every blasted item.
Then, only if you want to display an item in a fixed location every time.
But then, will it look the way intended with every browser resolution?
I avoid using positioning for that reason.
Take the time to fully understand CSS from the zillions of sources on the
internet.
