1.  your clearing div is adding to that extra space.  I prefer to use
the easy clearing method described in the wiki.  Option #2 here:

2.  not only is "just ask" "shifted right", the paragraph is as well.
Using the ie "DevToolBar" to outline <div> tags and then using MODI to
hover over things, I not only triggered a guillotine effect (caused by
MODI, so don't worry) but I could see that the numbers to your list are
outside of the area the rest of that column takes up.  Taking out the
margin/padding on the <ul> moved that text to line up with the rest of
your column.  Keep in mind that lists act a little different that is
sometimes intuitive and you might need to mess around with paddings and
margins to get them to line up how you think they should be.
