 * Hello- A friend of mine remarked that he wanted to see a separate scrollbar for
   the body portion of the blog and keep the menu portion static on the side. I 
   imagine the logic is that he wants to see the menu all the time and be able to
   scroll the posts freely. I have not seen anything posted pertaining to this, 
   but perhaps someone out there has done something or even understands what I mean.
   
   If it is something that is looked down upon(design-wise), that’s fine but I would
   still like to know why no-one does it. Thanks, Chuck

 * This usually involves the use of frames or I-frames. Many folks don’t want the
   extra complexity, and there are some drawbacks to using them. That said, there
   are some sites out there using them, without any problems. It has a lot to do
   with what your design goals are all about, and whether or not the added complexity
   of designing, building, and maintaining a site like this provides enough value
   to you as the site owner and to your potential visitors.

 * Fancy folk are now using a frames effect in CSS only.

 * Thanks everybody. I have decided to make it so that if you use IE the neat-o 
   scroll function is disabled but if you use Firefox, etc. it should work. If you
   want to test it out, go here:

   NOTE: This is just a test site running on my home PC so it doesn’t have any content,
   just layout tweaks. I borrowed the Rubric theme and modified it slightly so if
   you recognize it that’s where it came from…
