A question about 'static'

I'm playing with the Blue and Blue flavour at the moment, it has a
sidebar on the RHS with several items which have HREFs like:-

    <a class="menulink" href="$base_url/static/guestbook.html">guestbook</a>

Is there something special about that "$base_url/static" bit?  As
$base_url is generated by pyblosxom I think there must be as there's
no way otherwise for the browser to find 'static'.

I don't want a 'static' site, I have a server with apache running so I
might as well use it. 

Where should I put files under my $blogdir so that they would appear
in 'static' and what other configuration do I need?
