[BNM] CSS pleasure/jelly, cake and fizzy pop all round

[delarge]

Yan - think of the html page as an empty box - or a new round on tetris...
How you fill the box from top to bottom or how you let the blocks fall into
it is controlled by your css file... some will fall into place snugly - some
will step aside to let others through, some will float in mid air, some will
push all the others away...

damn - deep huh?
any better css analogies welcome....
