Making A Site Stretch with Content

I am currently making a website. I always seem to run into the trouble when splicing that when I add content bigger than the canvas size the left menu bar stretches out. Here is the link to what is happening to better understand it. »www.georgiascrafts.com/contactme.html and you can see at »www.georgiascrafts.com is what the menu should look like. I know there is something to do with spacers and such, I just have been having a hard time finding out what it is called. It probably is a pretty simple step I have over looked, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any tutorial sites with using photoshop designed sites and 'splicing' them properly would help. I just have a hard time finding them.

Firstly, welcome to the forum. This is truly painful to me seeing a website built like this. It has to be politely said that the site is a real mess but this is what Photoshop slice & dice sites often end up looking (and behaving) like. I wouldn't be able to help if you're going down the splicing route but I can suggest your best option would be to get someone who knows a bit about XHTML & CSS to re-do your site. It's a real simple layout and wouldn't be a big job to build the pages. It could look exactly the same as your design concept but the benefits would be a) it would stretch as you want, b) it would be much faster loading, c) it would have cleaner more semantic markup which is much better these days for assistive devices and search engines.
