CSS Help, A couple things.

Well I have been working for a while on this template (heavy modification) and I am almost happy with it. However, I need some advice on side bars.
The site is www.nonsensed.com/mhc (temp location while I play with things)

The side bar on the right didn't have a border but I felt that it should have one. However, now it looks strange as the border goes past the curves etc. Anyone have any stylistic ideas that could help?

Ideally I would like the left and right borders to start lower, that is to say after the header of the side bar module.

Basically I am looking for constructive critisism. Please ignore the content completely as I do not plan to format it that way. I am simply looking for design advice. Thanks

it looks fine to me but of course im on IE6

Looks good to me too!

Fine in flock, looks nice.

In FF2:
No left padding on content of top box.
Did you mean for the subhead (corporate and social research) to be at the top of the bar?
Olive gold graphics render fuzzy.
The top nav text jumps on hover. If this is intentional, I don't like jumpy hovers.
Line 109 tags for <small> are not correctly placed.
I'd copy the bottom round corners at the top, rather than bleeding the wrap into the top of the browser. Like the webforumz page, just scroll up to see what I mean.

The text color is a bit too light for really good readability, IMO. (When you can't make up your mind, just remind yourself that the number one purpose is to be read as text rather than as artwork.) I'd also put the heads a little closer to the text -- midway between paragraphs doesn't lead the eye properly. Just a bit too much vertical whitespace, but bringing the head bottom margin closer should solve that, too.

well there you go. looks good in IE but not in FF. SHUCKS. Dont thaty beat all. if you use images make sure their saved as jpg. its better and renders clearer.
