what is the best way to position an image, text, link, etc.? i've gone absolute positioning crazy to place everything on my site, and am finding that whenever i make additions or changes to my page, things have shifted out of place the next day, so that i have to readjust and recode everything. i'm assuming this has to do with absolute positioning. how should i place the theme titles next to the numbered links with out absolute positioning? i know this is probably a horrible layout, can someone help me out please? also, if anyone has a code for a css calendar with links, it would be great.
here's my code for my comic archives page and the link.

I usually post a weeks worth of strip, once a week, and the strip on the home page should change daily.
Check out my other strip "bluesrock" and let me know what you think. Both these cartoons are accessible through
