You could shorten it even more by just using

body {border-left:18px solid #ebf7fb;}

Oh, and an RSS feed would be great, too!

It is not that simple. Initially I used that method. But then you have to put:

    html, body { height: 100%; }

After which you end up with padding issues which you need to workaround with some stupid methods.

Got tired of it, put background image instead and simplified the CSS further :)

As for the RSS feed, it won't have any.

You're right. Actually, just this will do it:

  html {border-left:18px solid #ebf7fb; height:100%;}

Like I said, it is not that simple. The best would be to make a copy of the page, de-minify it and try for yourself. Then tell me the results ;) Focus on top and bottom parts of the page. If you don't see it, try a page with more content, so it will scroll.

All kinds of issues will arise.
