Not knowing what your code is, I would have to say you need to look for broken html if sections are bleeding into each other, as far as the other alternatives, you can create 2 regions side by side that you populate also. But I am curious why is the suggested solutions not usable? <br>

Using Drupal 7 I am customizing the front page on a web site I am<br>
developing for my own (commercial) use. I used the Zen theme as a base,<br>
created a subtheme etc. which went well. After creating a tpl.php file<br>
just for the front page, I have now added a custom region (between the<br>
main content and the footer) and added three blocks to this custom<br>
region using the Block Administration page of the theme. Using weights<br>
I can arrange the order of the three blocks I have, provided I want<br>
them one below the other.<br>
<br>
However, I want them side-by-side and I want each block to have some<br>
custom formatting. After Googling the drupal site I found this link<br>
<a href="http://drupal.org/node/1151704" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/1151704</a> which seems to address my problem.<br>
<br>
Since I am new to Drupal I thought I would see if there are any other<br>
solutions beside the one in the link? I should also add that before<br>
adding the custom region I had added custom PHP code (and corresponding<br>
statements in a CSS file) to place the three blocks approximately where<br>
I wanted them on the page. However, while they were separated from the<br>
main content region, no matter what I did the Footer got intermixed<br>
with my block content, hence the Googling described above.<br>
<br>
Suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks.<br>
