The two column layout may be one of the most common layouts on the web today and I have indeed ultilised if for my site. In this default WordPress layout the right-hand column generally contains secondary data and is usually shorter then the left-hand column. In many cases the right-hand column contains less data than the main content column to the left yet will be lost past the top of the browser window as the user scrolls down the page. The scroll-bar represents the whole page, the left-hand column may be eight times larger than the right column and although the right hand column may not need to be scrolled, or may not need to scroll as much it will soon be pushed out of sight. Wouldn’t be much more logical to have the scroll-bar active for both columns independently rather than grouping them together. My lastest example addresses some of these issues.
