Ok, so from what I can find on Faux Columns and fluid columns, I use a background image to look like the columns and then just draw over the sections I don't want displayed. Seems simple enough, but I use percentage positioning to place my layers/div's/call them what you wills in the middle of the page. ( 18% from the left edge to be exact ) and this stops me from lining things up with the underlying background image.
EDIT: Never mind, the first tutorial I found specifically said you had to use it on the background, and not on a container DIV, but that tutorial was wrong, it works fine on a container DIV.
