I didn't bother hacking it to work in IE 6 so use a real browser to view -
tested in IE 7, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Would work in IE 6 with another
10 minutes work which I have no intention of doing.

It's very rough and I've only bothered doing the two main content columns as
this is all that is required to show that it can be made fluid. Everything
else is low quality placeholder images.
