How to get side nav text and buttons listed after main page text

I would like to have my home page look better for search engines.
I heard that it is a good idea to have a search engine spider simulator look
at your web page to see the order of text that, Google for instance, is
visible.

Could anyone help with the CSS for my site? I would like have the left side
navigation buttons and menu come after the main text of the page in the
source code.

I used: gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go to test the way it looks to a
search engine.

My website is: www.officeactivate dot com.

thanks.

Would it work if I floated right the fluid right column of main content and
used absolute positioning everywhere else?
Is this desireable? and keep the look and feel of the current site?

I have a few issues right now with the web site:
1) I am interested in getting the content listed earlier in the page source
for SEO
2) The banner wraps horribly in a smaller window, I wish I could keep the
banner from wrapping (and blog link)
3) It would be nice if I could force the right fluid column to a min-width
in IE and Firefox and that the CSS would validate for SEO.

thanks for any tips.
