Default Adding new categories to home page

I have been trying to add a new category to the home page of my site http://tasramar.com on the right hand side under Featured Videos. I had to take it off because there was no formatting and the information was just stuck randomly on the bottom right side.

I tried copying homepage right as it was suggested in another post, but I can't get the formatting to line up. I also tried adding homepageright2, but that didn't help at all. I even went in to stylesheet and duplicated the homepage right info and added homepage right2. Still no luck. Here's the code I used for home.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

<div id="homepage">

<?php /*Check for the 'gallery_styles' function. if it's there, then include it. If not, do nothing*/ ?>
<?php if (function_exists('gallery_styles')) : ?>
<div id="fcg">
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="homepageleft">
<?php $featured_cat_1 = get_option('chrome_featured_cat_1'); $featured_cat_1_num = get_option('chrome_featured_cat_1_num'); if(!$featured_cat_1) $featured_cat_1 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h3><?php echo cat_id_to_name($featured_cat_1); ?></h3>
<div class="homebox">
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured_cat_1."&showposts=".$fea tured_cat_1_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumbnail", true) ): ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img style="float:left;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px;" src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumbnail", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b>
<?php the_content_limit(125, ""); ?>
<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #C0C0C0; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>

</div>

<div class="homepageright">
<?php $featured_vid_1 = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1'); $featured_vid_1_num = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_num'); if(!$featured_vid_1) $featured_vid_1 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h3><?php echo cat_id_to_name($featured_vid_1); ?></h3>
<div class="homebox">
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured_vid_1."&showposts=".$fea tured_vid_1_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b>
<?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php $featured_vid_1 = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1'); $featured_vid_1_num = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_num'); if(!$featured_vid_1) $featured_vid_1 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h4>More <?php echo cat_id_to_name($featured_vid_1); ?></h4>
<ul>
<?php $featured_vid_1_list = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_list'); ?>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured_vid_1."&showposts=".$fea tured_vid_1_list."&offset=".$featured_vid_1_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

</div>

</div>
</div>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>
</div>

<div class="homepageright2">
<?php $featured_vid_1 = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1'); $featured_vid_1_num = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_num'); if(!$featured_vid_1) $featured_vid_1 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h3><?php echo cat_id_to_name($featured_vid_1); ?></h3>
<div class="homebox">
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured_vid_1."&showposts=".$fea tured_vid_1_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b>
<?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php $featured_vid_1 = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1'); $featured_vid_1_num = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_num'); if(!$featured_vid_1) $featured_vid_1 = 1; //setting a default ?>
<h4>More <?php echo cat_id_to_name($featured_vid_1); ?></h4>
<ul>
<?php $featured_vid_1_list = get_option('chrome_featured_vid_1_list'); ?>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".$featured_vid_1."&showposts=".$fea tured_vid_1_list."&offset=".$featured_vid_1_num); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

</div>

</div>
</div>



</div>

<!-- The main column ends -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Ideally, I'd like to be able to add an extra category on the right that would pull another section with a featured video.

Thanks in advance.
