    Try switching the picture column to the left. This is a 50/50 split and I might consider doing a 25/75 split. The 75 would be the part with the text and the 25 part would be for the picture and quote. Don't worry about the quote and picture column expanding to the same height as the text. Try to tighten things up on the picture column (Smaller picture, less padding and smaller typeface). Hope that all helps, let me know if you have any questions...

      Hey Nate. Thanks for your suggestions. I changed the split to 25/75 split (though I think it's more of a 33/66 split - does that matter? Let me know if so.) I also didn't make the picture and pull quote match the height of the text. Does this work? Let me know, also, if you think the quote/picture/give & photo buttons reflect the spacing you suggest. I'm trying to train my eye to catch good spacing, but it seems like a trial and error issue. No algorithm for that I can find yet... Let me know what you think of this update. Thanks so much.

      by the way, if you get 2 more reputation points, you'll have a palindrome for a reputation #. I think that's pretty cool.

      It's getting there. I really like this format a lot better! Now i think you just need to concentrate on the image and quote column now.

      For the image I would use something like what is on this page http://www.birdie-birdie.com/photography.html.

      For the quote try adding some sort background color and sneak have the shape go under the pictures.

      Hope that all makes, let me know if you are unsure what I am talking about. Good work, keep it up!

      thanks. I'm on it... I'm only sad that I didn't see your palindromic rep # :o(
