a sidebar like this?

[FamChap]

hi, i would like to install a similar looking left column bar onto my website as: http://www.notebookreview.com/

i've tried several different sidebar's i found here, but none of them seem to replicate NBR's
they all have a large gap in between the far left of the window and the left side of the column table.

look here: http://familychapel.com/forum/

i'm using amykhar's left column product... does anybody know what i can do?

thanks!
