I have to agree with the others though on just what should be put in it. Depends on the blog and objective. Question: I am accumulating a few advertisements and instead of parading them down the sidebar I would like to animate them. By that I mean flash as your wordpress themes ad does. I realize this is just one ad that flashes but I would like to do the same with two ads. I have seen it on many sights but can't find out how to do it. Can you tell me? I set the ad section up as html gadgets and tables. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deborah Good thoughts Antonio on the sidebar.

Should it be reserved for standard site links and meta links? Or, what about putting the lower value items? Finally, do you feel it is wasted space to put an "About"? Great input and tips.

I guess 280px which is what you currently have is perfect since it also has room for side padding.Also I think that it gives you better chances of getting golden ratio with main container div.. BTW, do you think golden ratio really affects site aesthetics. Your last suggestion of having sidebar width=260px…. is a bit contradictory to what you have in your present site.

I was thinking google doesn't like my sidebar because I'm using jquery to animate the drop down and to get the drop down to not display on page load I am using the display none css property which after reading several blogs is a bad idea and google will banish you. So I will take into consideration all these features when redesigning my sidebar thanks Antonio. I just launched my new website, and I was having the hardest time with my sidebar.

If you're assuming that it would just be elsewhere prominently placed on the page, then that works. But, not having an easily visible, search area (again on blog page) seems like a big fail to me.
