Closed Another Div Background Thread

[Congenial Organism]

I was wondering if anyone could help with this I have a limited (width) background on the left-hand side of the screen but if I wanted to put text outside of that Div and have it show up next to it - how would I do that?

Spoiler

I tried just adding another div but it just smashed it down to the bottom.

Problem solved. Added "float: left;" inside the first div.
