home page

I'm using your fabulous fluid theme. For my home page would like to display my sidebar just like any blog page. However when I add any content to my homepage the sidebar gets pushed all the way down at the end of my content (I have a description of my blog and a code that displays my blogs)! Is there a way I can fix this? 2nd. question how can I change the black color on navigation nemu(fist part of the page) to white? Many thanks
