I shouldn't even be doing this.

I believe this design solves at least these problems. However, it uses 
tables:

-----------------------------------------------------------
| logo?     |  content      |     content   |  content    |
|           |               |               |             |
|           |               |               |             |
|           |               |               |             |
-----------------------------------------------------------
|  nav?     |  news?        |    content    |
|           |               |               |
|           |               |               |
|           |               |               |
---------------------------------------------
|   ?       |   content     |
|           |               |
|           |               |
|           |               |
-----------------------------
| (c) notice|
|           |
|           |
|           |
-------------

With more/less rows, depending on what you want in it. Plus you set the 
table to 100% width, so it scales with the page.

Just a suggestion.

Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it
refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
    needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition
    for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
    (freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your
    improvements to the public, so that the whole community
    benefits. (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a
    precondition for this.
