Made some minor changes to the layout

After some testing of my current layout in mozilla firebird, internet explorer and konqueror i noticed that only firebird displayed the site as intended, while konqueror had some minor problems and internet explorer had some major problems. I now made some changes to my css; previously the menu was floated to the right and the rest of the main body was stretched using min-height (necessary when displaying a single blog post). Only firebird rendered the min-height declaration properly, while internet explorer had some serious problem with the floating menu as well. I now positioned the menu absolute, but still rely on min-height for correct viewing results. Of course i could have avoided all problems by using one single table in my layout, but as we all know, tables for layout are stupid.
The site should still look the same in firebird and konqueror, while improving internet explorer compatibility. The site is perfectly usable with any browser i tested, but for best results i highly recommend you to use firebird, not only because it renders my site correctly, but rather because it’s really a great browser (possibly even the best, though i have to admit i don’t know safari). I’ll try to fix the remaining problems, but can’t make any promises yet. Perhaps i’ll also do an alternative, much simpler layout for increased compatibility with older browsers. I’m quite sure this site looks like crap in netscape navigator 4 and internet explorer 5, but i don’t have any of those two at hand to confirm my assumptions.
