    How about a link so we can see the problem? If the right column is not already on the right, you have something non-standard and we can't know what it is.
    ...OK thanks! :)

    From View Source:
    HTML Code:
    <div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><a href="http://www.bigsbikinibikebath.com/"><strong><img src="images/Big'sStore.jpg" alt="Big's Bikini Bike Bath" title=Welcome to Big's Bikini Bike Bath's Online Store!</strong> </a></div>
    The <img tag is not closed, and this is messing up for several lines afterwards.
    Also, the title is not in quotes.

    Having an apostrophe in a filename is very bad practice, and in some cases will cause fatal errors. Eliminate all of those.

    You have an image in the center column that is too big for the space available. Either make your site larger/flexible width, or make the image narrower.

    The sidebox headers are an image (tile_back.gif), and you can change this in a graphics editing program like Photoshop. Otherwise, you can eliminate the background-image from .leftBoxHeading and .rightBoxHeading and use background-color and border properties.

    To find the exact selectors to edit, get Firefox and its Web Developer extension. The Information > Display Element Information button will show classes, ids, ancestors, etc. for any element you click on. The CSS > Edit CSS button will let you see instantly the effects of stylesheet changes.

    In your stylesheet, find #mainWrapper and change
    width: 750px;
    to
    width: 100%;
    or whatever you want.
    You may also need to change the way header graphics work, depending on your particular layout.
