If you don't have that many content links, you can shorten the div for that by scrolling up to .connlinks and changing the height to a smaller number (ie 100px etc).

Put something else behind here other than your personality window. Header tags are not scripted as they don't necessarily work in conjunction with blogs; however, you can use big and small in this section for headers. These have been included. Alternatively you can remove everything from div id sidebar2text down to the first closed div tag below and just leave this section as an image.
