The div#updates is absolutely positioned, which results in it falling
over the footer. Better put it in the source after the left column and
before the content, and float it right.
(This is only a problem when the left column is shorter than the right
one, which happened when the gif didn't load on the bottom left)
In my IE, that image (and the 'home' text below it) didn't load at
first, but appeared after I individually loaded the image. I'm not
sure why it didn't load in the first place, maybe it has to do with
the clear:left on it? If two 'clears' (#section_icon and #footer)
touch in IE, this often causes problems. AFAICS (not tested)
#section_icon doesn't need a clear property at all.
Weird thing: I can't reproduce the image not loading after clearing my
cache and calling the page again.
