I have a site template/layout that I am using to build a new site and I'm wanting to add a new "section" or area to the template. This is my first time using a completely external CSS, so I'm a little unsure how to add the section correctly and have it positioned where I need it. Any help is appreciated.

I've attached the template I'm using. In the template, the CSS is in the head section. I'm taking it out and putting it in an external CSS file when I use the template.

I'd like to add a "section" below the navigation section that is already on the template. I'd like it to be below the navigation and to the left of the content section, as if it were part of the left-hand column. It would be the same width as the navigation section that it would be below. If it matters, the height would be 150px to 160px.

Thanks in advance to all who help.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want but I rewrote it adding in that section. You can change it according to what you want to do with it.
