Hi Donna - Have you seen the wiki pages about different layout options? The main page is here - 
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CssLayouts

There are links to several other wiki pages from the above page that discuss the merits and difficulties of various types of layouts as well as links to outside sources. 

In addition, Bob Easton has assembled a very nice collection of links to 3-column-layouts (with notes about the techniques used on each) - 
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts

If you don't need that many columns, many 3-column layouts can be adjusted to work with fewer columns.

HTH,
