I've done a bit of searching around but I haven't came across anything just yet, or I'm using a few wrong keywords.
The attached photo (yeah it's a pretty bad paint job :p) is just representing what I'm referring to. I'd like to move the header menu to a column or sidebar.

I have three general questions about it:
a) Is it possible to have the menu as a sidebar or column aligned to the left?
b) What templates would I edit? e.g: header
c) Would I need to replace the un-ordered list with images or buttons?

Maybe I've searched the wrong things or I need a sidebar then add linked images to it, so any links or help is appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Jason.

a) of course
b) mainly header
c) no need to replace ul, just change its css

Basically make a fixed or absolute (depending if you want it moving while scrolling) div on the position you would like to have it and put the modified menu in it.

So I could just have a list on the column on the left and style it with CSS according to the theme or have linked images?
