Don't worry about it! I'm sorry for getting back to you a little late, too.
Re; the custom code! I'm finally on the same page as you, lol. This is totally do-able. I'll probably have to send you a little snippet to add on to your layout code, but it'll be fine otherwise. If you don't mind doing a little sketch of what you're picturing for the code itself, I'd really appreciate it. As for placement of the post, would you like it to be with the rest of the entries but stylized different or somewhere else entirely, like between the navigation links and the entries/sidebar area?
Re; Neocities! I'm really glad you like the design! I was hoping it wasn't too much of the same, lol, but I'm glad it's working for you so far. c:
As for what I recommend about the sidebar, I think that depends on how much important info you think will be needed in there. If you have a lot of info that can be summed up in short form, a lot of links, highlights for certain members, awards/contests/announcements, or even a sign-in mechanic/chatroom widget, then a sidebar would work great. If you just have social media links and the like, then it's not really necessary. In fact, at that point, it'll probably just add clutter.
For now, I can make the sidebar an optional tool. That way you can see what this will look like with and without it. I could also go a step further and have it so you can toggle it into existence or something yourself in the future, in case you decide you want it/don't want it later on.
