I can't do anything about the Yahoo ads, I'm afraid :(.

What browser are you using? IE messes up the layout by importing all the 
CSS styles on the page, resulting in the messy style.

I have now put the stylesheets into different pages and put links to 
them in the menu pane. They are accessible from:

    http://uk.geocities.com/msclrhd/boost/

where
    Multiple CSS -- this is the version I had last (works best in Firefox);
    Simple -- a basic style
    Wiki v1 -- a Wiki emulator
    Wiki v2-v3 -- variations on the Wiki style (mainly the menu and link 
styles)

The Simple/Wiki pages work in IE as well as Mozilla. I haven't tested 
other browsers, but they should render it similarly.

Reece
