Hi everyone!

I'm building new website based on Q2A platform and I would like to know if you have any suggestion what kind of content should I insert in sidepanel (on right side of layout).

This is the first thing that has crossed my mind:
1. position - banner
2. position - categories
3. position - cloud of popular tags (anyone know how to build that script?)

Do you have any other suggestion?

On my site I removed the related questions from the bottom and put those in the sidebar in a plain list.
