Then each part in a left or right floated column <div>. And ending with a clearing of the floats, that means: starting left side of the page at a vertical position under the largest floating column. The maybe the "text img" links can get some kind of visual indication there is something to hover/click (small arrow or something?). - The menu at the bottom is clear, but at the Words page, I didn't recognize the "Gordon Parks Remembered: 'by 5 minutes' " text as a clickable link: only after 10 minutes, just by accident, when hovering around.
