Component Help

Every time I try to adjust the Google Search and LJ search to the BOTTOM of my links, below my calender, I get an error.
Does the google and LJ search HAVE to be above the links and calender?
Any ideas what could be causing this problem?
Thanks

Have any of you fellows, or fellow-ettes, ever gotten an error while trying to add the 70th, or 70+th entry within the 'random quote' array in this tutorial? I've been getting it for a while and I don't know how to get rid of it. It doesn't make much sense.

I get;
Compile error: line 1106, column 29: Malformed variable reference

Which points to 'mid-quote' of the 70th entry. Once i comment out the 70th entry all is well again.

Any ideas?

I hope these question haven't been asked. I couldn't find it, but I'm new to the community so... I'm very familiar with HTML and CCS, but not so great with S2 style. I have three questions:

1. Is there a way to absolute position an image in the S2 style? Got it! Thanks!
2. Is there a way to push the components down, so that they start below the entries? tjackson explains it better in his reply, but I still haven't figured it out.
3. Is there a way to format the friends colors with other colors?
