I’ve attempted to ‘fix’ the sidebar on the right of the page. The sidebar used to be defined in a div with height 100%. The problem with this was that when you scrolled down, the sidebar stopped when the content ended or where the initial height of the page ended (whichever was larger). So, when you scrolled down, the sidebar disappear rather abruptly.

The new method keeps the original sidebar definition but adds a background div with the same background, width, etc of the sidebar but with a fixed position and a lower z-index. I think this means that a browser will always show the background, even when scrolling down the page. If an IE user wants to correct me, please do so.
