I thought i could use one big table to split apart seperate columns of information for the links I have. I've made an awkward mess. So , what other suggestion do you have for seperate columns based on the genre of links i want to place. I.E <ART> <MUSIC> <ETC>

Forgive me, I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly you want to do. From what I gather, you're unhappy with the style of the left-hand category/links, yes?
 
Yes. Lets say, I want 'links' to reach a certain point on the left hand side. Then start another column of links on the middle of the page.
