I was hoping there was a built-in mechanism for equal height columns, but it turns out faux-columns was a lot easier with blueprint than my current hack setup, so it's still a major improvement :) sorry didn’t mean to be unclear, I meant equal height without using faux columns with a background image. in your example, if you add content to either the main area or sidebar so it grows, the columns no longer look even.

This blog includes a sidbar plus content area with a appearance of eqaul height by using images & color. You can also use padding or minHeight to force columns to be equal. If you are talking about text flow (like a newspaper), then you need to get deep in the weeds with javascript or CSS3 (see <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/css3multicolumn" rel="nofollow">here</a>). @Josh: I’m not exactly sure what you mean by equal height columns.

I haven't found a solution to this, have you?
