Float "left-sidebar" left Instead of "left-sidebar_contents."

A few tips regarding things I noticed: You have a lot of divs. I think  
that you have twice as much markup as you need, something that makes  
your code harder to read and overly complex. IE can also freak out  
when there are too many nested levels. I would also recommend reducing  
the number of style sheets that you are including to less than four or  
five. IE has a bug (I'm sure they consider it a feature) that prevents  
it from having more than for connections open at a single time. That  
means that instead of working on all linked files (style sheets,  
javascript, etc) at the same time, it has to batch them in groups of  
four, which results in longer rendering times for IE users if any of  
the individual files are large. To fix this, I us PHP to combine all  
of my style sheets into one (dynamic) file and all my javascripts into  
one (dynamic) file.
