Hrm, no idea... which browser are you using? I've only the means to test in FFX2 & Safari, so if it's wonky in MSIE I'll never know unless I get off my duff & test it on CP's PC. (Bleah.)
Yeah, Exp/Mixit is totally overdivved, and I'm dubious as to whether it's really worth it. (Sometimes I think that's done solely to make it very very hard to rip CSS from an existing layout, damn those bastards.) When I'm coding from scratch for myself, I find myself narrowing it down more and more until I have the absolute minimum of classes, and reusing as much as I can. Unfortunately that's pretty impossible with LJ, it seems (and let's not even get started on the layouts still using tables, ugh).
Any chance you can throw a screenshot my way, so I can get an idea of how it looks -- and what are your browser dimensions? I ended up doing this one at 960px layout, which is definitely wider than I'm comfortable with, but on a iMac screen, 700px wide is a freaking single newspaper column AAAUUUGHHH.
