And in terms of solutions, you can use a CSS-based two-column
layout with header. If you don't want to have to copy paste
the header and side bar between pages (especially if you have
lots of them, and only one small change to make), you can
look into server-side includes. All this has been discussed in
this group many times, so a Google search should pull up lots
of good information.
