Hello everyone, the name's Ghost and I'm fairly new at this whole thing. I'm pretty good at HTML, but I've learned all my CSS from studying others CSS and I'm at a standstill. I thought I knew how to make a 3rd column, but I don't and now I'm frustrated because I know it's something I'm over looking. -_- I want a 3rd column on the other side of the main part of the site. And I haven't been too hot at it so far. Screenshot of what it looks like so far. (http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll49/DasGhost/screenshot.gif)

Thank you so much!! I'd been looking for a good site to look on for a few hours now, and suddenly one of them there clicked.

I think I've got it now. I don't actually know where I was wrong, it seemed I was doing everything right. But, perhaps it was the margins I was using. Thank you so much again for all your help it is very much appreciated. ^_^
