Yay! :)

Yeah, I just realised that if the content is shorter than the sidebar
it goes like that, it's just a matter of adding vertical-align: top;
to the relevant CSS elements.

That's not really hard to modify :) As you probably know that's just
the standard W3C XHTML compliance button.

Yeah, the fancyness part can come afterwards. Although just adding a
few gradients using CSS should be enough, nothing too difficult.

I'd say go ahead with ikiwiki! I did see what you put on the page footer :)

When it's all set up I'll do a bit more work on it. For now I'll be
catching up on all that other, supposedly more important, work that I
avoided doing over the weekend :)
