Right column overlapping centre column?

[schoolboy]

Ah ha that would explain a lot, thanks schoolboy.

Trouble is now I've got a fatal error stopping the entire site from loading!



The result of trying to implement a facebook fan box in the right column, any ideas?

Is this something that is going to encourage or stimulate sales?

Will customers fill their carts with products because of this feature?

Does it add value to someone's purchasing experience?

If not... why are you doing it?

Clutter is one of the main reasons why sites are slowed down, and why customers get distracted and led out of a site.

If your site is there to entertain people, then pepper it with junk like this. Make it look like a pinball machine on steroids if you want to.

If your main objective is to sell goods, make a profit and earn a decent living, then everything on your site should be designed to encourage sales and draw in customers. Components that do not achieve this are superfluous and unnecessary. Be ruthless... focus on what is going to stimulate business.
