Nice shot! :] Thanks for all helpful advices and opinions (including these about REAL accordions and their usability). I did not mention: accordion we are going to use is planned on the new version of portal's main page. It's not my concept - this time I just have to make someone else's project usable, so do not assume that I WANT TO use accordion. I just have to. Still, I don't think that's bad idea. Look at e.g. yahoo.com - we are going to use one mini-accordion more or less in the place of "Small Business"/"Featured Services" on the bottom of their left column. In our case left column is even longer. The goal *is* to catch user's eye - because almost nobody looks there when it's static. And no, we are not afraid that it will interrupt reading main content, because main content in this place is bunch of links and summaries. New main page is in alpha stage, but I will send there a link when it will be public beta.
