[repeat favorite cry of anguish here]

I cannot figure this out. I am going INSANE.* You can see from the screenshot above how it looks just fine in preview but then doesn't load right once I publish it.

Here are potentially relevant portions of my template, if they mean anything to anyone. I would probably be more adept at fixing this problem if I had any idea what I was actually doing.

    #content {

        margin : 0px 20px 10px 220px;

        padding-left : 0px;

    }

    #menu {

        position : absolute;

        top : 20px;

        left : 10px;

        width : 185px;

        padding : 10px 15px 15px 15px;

        border : 5px solid #CC0000;

    }

* More than usual, I mean.
