OBJECTIVE: My aim is to replicate a "newspaper author" layout using HTML/CSS:
SOLUTION/ISSUE: I floated a box to the left and added text and other content that wraps around it. However, some of the content's background-color and CSS effects are overflowing into the box. How can I achieve this layout without experiencing these overflow issues?
<div id="main-content">
<aside id="side-box">
left-floated box.
</aside>
<p>
Various content that may have background color etc.
</p>
</div>
