Site change: Layout

After several months of meaning to figure out what code needs to be edited to make all the content float up to the top instead of leaving a big space I have decided to take the easy path.

If I don't have a left menu bar, it all floats to the top.

To facilitate this I have had to re-arrange the order of the right menu bar items. I hope that overall this change makes the site more usable. I know I found it annoying to have to scroll down so far to get to the text box for entering a story or to see the stories in the news aggregator, and now it's all up at the top.

Let me know if this format causes other trouble.
