Well I have a start, that might help solve the problem...

first thing first, we can make a couple changes to the markup to minimize
the amount of CSS to write.

so start by doing something like this:

<body>
<div id="sidebar_left">Your Content</div>
<div id="main">Main Content</div>
<div id="sidebar">Your Content</div>
<div id="footer">Footer Content</div>
</body>

Then for your CSS you can do something like this:
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        #sidebar{
            float: left;
            width: 245px;
            background: green;
        }
        #sidebar_left{
            float: left;
            width: 200p;
            background: yellow;
        }
        #main{
            width: 450px;
            float: left;
            background:orange;
        }
        #main p{
            margin-top: 0;
        }
        .clear{
            clear: both !important;
            font-size: 0 !important;
            height: 0 !important;
        }
        #footer{
            clear: both;
        }
    </style>

I have attached a HTML document that you can see, its nothing spectacular
but might be enough to get you on track? If not let me know, I'm more than
happy to help wherever I can.
