I looked around the site some, but I don't think I saw anything that would allow me to have flexible widths and position that text at the bottom. In the three-column layout, the left and right columns are both fixed width, and they only appear to be the same height because their backgrounds are actually borders of a container. So there's no way to use absolute positioning, for example, to place the text at the bottom. Actually, I guess I might be able to just use the image height and width to position everything (using inline styles), but I'd hoped there was a flexible way to do this with CSS without having to know the image dimensions.
