Definitely 2 columns. Three would drive me nuts. Simplicity is good.

5 - 1 for content, 4 for ads. Works every time.

If your content was your center column then maybe. As it is your left column is miles long.

Too many words too close together -- both vertically and horizontally. Nothing personal, but if I happened on that site, I'd blow right past it because it's too crowded and unreadable IMHO.

Worry less about the columns, and more about the content.

If you would set the text to justify, it'd probably help define the columns better, which would help it look less sloppy.

took me a while to set it to justify... i failed and failed and failed... gave up... then today i tried again and it worked... dunno what i was doing wrong the first time...

but it does look better...

everyone is saying 3 bad 2 good... i guess my opinion is either just wrong... or not popular... 2 it is for now.
