Maybe try to use percentages, and leave a ltilte room between them (maybe 45%, 25%, 25%). Different browsers display things a ltilte differently and the percentages will keep it constant for whoever brings up your page.Just so you know, right now I'm looking at a canon press banner on the left top of your page (under your title and your conference notice) with white space all underneath it to the very bottom of the page. To the right of it is your theologia banner with your most recent post starting directly on top of it. your posts go down the page until they stop and then your usual right sidebar stuff is underneath that and continues to the bottom of the page. Its been like that for a couple of days now. I don't know if its you or me (none of the other blogger sites I visit look like this though). Also, do you mean why is ther a margin space, or do you see an actual border? if you are talking about margin space then I think using the percentages might help you out there. I could e-mail you my template if you want to look it over for differences. sorry i can't be more of a help, I pretty much have to trial-and-error it every time I want to make changes.
