I'd rather have one box than two columns. Makes for easier read.
On most pages I use just a single box -- I ended up going with multiple boxes in two columns on the front page because I figured that (a) there wasn't a huge amount of text to read, and (b) separating 'what is tarsnap', 'start using tarsnap', 'tarsnap pricing', and 'tarsnap news' into individual boxes some much-needed organization.
Is your comment about prefering a single box a general comment (in which case I think you'll find that most of the site does what you want) or do you also think that the front page would benefit from that?
Great question. I think the front page will definitely benefit from having one column. To be clear, I don't mind multiple boxes. Just that they should be in one column for easier reading. What you have would serve a magazine better(because it adds a pinch of fun). But in your case, you've a product and people just wanna get the info.
Only problem I have is with the floating boxes. I'd rather have one box than two columns. Makes for easier read.
