What do you mean exactly by 'entry'?  The 'sidebar_contacts' is, yes, a 
new entry in the Quick Template YAML file 'index.html.quick', but, no, 
not a new blog entry.

Try this:

   sidebar_list: [sidebar_archive, sidebar_links, sidebar_contacts,
                  sidebar_syndicate, sidebar_hobix]
   sidebar_contacts: |
     <div class="sidebarBox">
         <h2 class="sidebarTitle">Contacts</h2>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="mailto:sj@example.org">Steve Jux</a></li>
             <li><a href="mailto:ct@example.org">Carl Thin</a></li>
         </ul>
     </div>

I will remedy this tomorrow.  Heil.
