Thanks. Originally it was even grosser before I could get a faux column thing going on, as the sidebar would extend down and the article container did not. I'll play around with the size of the Twitter feed and see what I can come up with.

Re: Team 3322's website

Wow, that is quite nice. A couple things I would look at. First, I completely agree with what ChristopherSD said. Second, maybe try to blend the left side background, the upper bar background (the bar with the FIRST logo on it), and the top-most bar on the site. That kinda stood out to me. You could also add a little more complexity behind the text (a very slight gradient?) to help keep it simple but also visually interesting. Third, at the bottom, I would also recommend blending the border between the footer and the navigation links a little more.

Otherwise, I really do like the site. It is very clean, not overwhelming, and quite professional.

Thank you for all of your comments. We'll definitely take them into consideration and play with things a bit.
