I found this plugin while searching for a sticky sidebar effect,
It does a bit more, also gives my side menu an accordion drop-down style.
I wish I could customize the accordion a bit more but for what this plugin
does, it’s definitely a 5 star.
Fantastic plugin, thank you!

I have no idea why this isn’t a more popular plugin. Nothing’s more annoying than scrolling down a long blog article and ending up in no man’s land with nothing beside the text. Let’s face it, readers don’t have a very long attention span these days and it’s a good idea to have something for them to look at while they’re reading for when their eyes start to wander. After futzing around with a million different themes I actually chose TwentyTwelve and this plugin works well with it.
Works very good.
