 * Ok, I just made sure before I posted that my CSS is valid, as is my XHTML.
    If
   you visit my [site](http://danmatthew.co.uk/) in Firefox, the last post is pushed
   over to the right for some strange reason, but this only appears when they’re
   classed as ‘asides’ (using an implementation of matt’s asides). I can’t see what’s
   wrong with my generic list code to cause this to occur, hence it must be some
   padding/margin issue. Yet playing around with the web dev toolbar and changing
   suspicious values hasn’t helped me solve the problem. I’ve only posted a few 
   entries since I’ve been redesiging over the weekend, thus I didn’t notice anything
   was amiss till now.
 * Looks fine in Opera and IE.

 * This isn’t a a direct answer to your question, but your aside entries are siting
   in the “col” div, rather than having a div of their own like regular entries.
   You might try putting each aside in a div, and I bet that would fix the problem.

 * The problem is very much the CSS.
    There are floated elements with no proper 
   widths (bad) and the asides listing is actually starting _behind_ the navbox 
   but because there is a mismatch in widths, it squeezes the list on the end. Sort
   the navbox properties and the asides should behave.

 * Err, actually Podz could you give me a little more guidance in solving this? 
   I was using the horizontal list navigation from listamatic before and had a mess
   around with getting rid of the floats from that… which solved the problem, but
   aesthetically wasn’t that pleasing.

 * What is the problem ?
 * While you are troubleshooting any placement issues, it will help to colour different
   areas – that way things will clearly show up.

 * Ah, got it! By adding a clear: left rule to the CSS that controls the lists 😀
