    Usually, absolute positioning is the last thing you would want to do. Look at my home page layout for inspiration. Try it on your own, and bring us specific questions about specific layout issues.

    Once you get the idea of going with the flow, layout will be much easier to do.

    cheers,

    Are you thinking of a pull quotes? Relative positioning with use of float is always desirable however you could give the P tag a class of its own if it is 1 paragraph only such as a pull quote.
