Another idea:

Those boxes in the width margin, they can be both distrating and makes the page too narrow in my opinion (and by the looks of it, many others). But perhaps, the ability to move them about on a user's own account preferences should be given, like on Youtube, when the boxes on the channel can be positioned how the user wants it.
