[Cc-webedit] sidebar buttons

Wavey hands in general, but some points:

1. I think we should advertise other camps, but not other camps'
gatherings (at least not so prominently). I just gets confusing and the
size of the side-bars is already dwarfing the actual home page textual
content

2. I think we should lose the climate action cafe link. It's not been
updated recently, is not an official climate camp undertaking, and can
be just put on http://climatecamp.org.uk/node/465

Very good in general though, I think the sidebars do need cleaning up.
