    Remove stylesheetBAK.css from your server.

    You have the the height for the #logowrapper set at 75px and this is interfering with the setting in your stylesheet.css

    in your stylesheet.css find this code and add the portion in red.

    Code:
    #navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper {
    	margin-top:4em;
            margin-left: 0.5em;
    	margin-right: 0.5em;
    	}

    I'm not sure if you've added these links directly in your tpl_footer.php file or if you've created the links using EZ pages.

    If you created them yourself directly in the tpl_footer.php file just delete the link you don't need in this case "shared"

    If it was created in EZ pages then go to your admin -> tools -> ez pages and delete the entry you don't need.

    Herot,
    When the dust settles, you'll need to work with the images on your site. Your larger image for Dry Ground is going to be more than full screen on 40 to 50 per cent of your customers' monitors.
    Your standard images are 145+K in size and your main page takes over three minutes to download on a 56k modem.
    Take a trip over to http://www.websiteoptimization.com/s...yze/index.html and enter your URL.
    Then, head over to http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/ if you need help with the graphics.
    The ImageHandler Mod is good if you have hundreds of photos but you may not need that much assistance.
    Also, check out the tutorial on creating extra directories to have the small, medium, and large photos housed correctly. Zen takes the image you submit with a product and changes the height and width. As you probably know, this does not change the size of the file.
    Like the drawings and think you're really on the right track to simplicity and emphasis on the product versus site.

    Lovely thing about IE, you work hard, fix the CSS, massage the html, and IE turns everything into a Hodge podge Too bad we can't automatically load firefox for the user when they visit.

    Not able to play much right now but do notice that you have percentage widths in many places that don't play well in the structured layout that is ZenCart.

    might have a misplaced or not required <BR class="clearboth" /> in the navigation display.

    Setting navColumnOne to a width of 11% should probably go back to a set amount like the default 150px.

    The 33% calls in the centerBoxWrapper might need changing as well. Could be from an installed contribution.

    You might want to drop the IP address as it does make some folks nervous.

    Thanks for sticking with the Powered by Zen Cart

    Upon further review....
    It looks as if that's a product of a mod or you've set the display for three across in the Admin.
    Don't know what's causing the drop-down of the left SideBox. Might need to play with margins in the CSS.

    My main concern at this point IIWM would be the peektures
