Before diving into this task and asking for help I'm willing to bet that
someone on this mailing list has already accomplished this task.  Let me
know so I don't have to research all this stuff, if you would =)

I am interested in making is so that as I scroll down on the page the menus
in the top left corner keep their position anywhere on the page.  I've been
suggested the best way to do this was with CSS.  To begin with, where would
the best place to be adding the CSS code to do this?

As I understand the menus, they are defined by the menu.js file...since they are just javascript you'll probably have to modify each of the header files to do it but I don't know if it will work...it'd be interesting to see. 
Just create the CSS code and add it somewhere that has access from the web...probably under the hobbit server www directory somewhere and reference it using the <link rel="stylesheet"...> or some such...I'd be curious about as I can see where that would be extremely beneficial for sites with lots of hosts on a single page.

If you open up menu.js the only thing I see is the declaration of a value
for a variable.  The little I know about programming and languages tells me
that I don't modify this file to do what I accomplish.  What I'm looking for
is what outputs the javascript to bb.html and bb2.html.  If you open either
of these two pages you'll see the javascript at the very bottom.

Look under the /path/to/hobbit/server/web folder.  That's where the files used to create the pages (in conjunction with the compiled in stuff) are at.  Most of the header/footer files are probably just symlinks to bb_header or bb_footer.

Finally got some time while waiting on Windows servers to do what they do
best.  Suck.

Using CSS the javascript menus stay in the top left corner this way:

vim server/web/bb_footer  -- now add a div tag:

<div id="menunomove">
<!-- menu script itself. you should not modify this file -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="&BBMENUSKIN/menu.js"></script>
<!-- items structure. menu hierarchy and links are stored there -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="&BBMENUSKIN/menu_items.js"></script>
<!-- files with geometry and styles structures -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="&BBMENUSKIN/menu_tpl.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
        new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_POS);
</script>
</div>

(Note that bb2_footer was a symlink to bb_footer for me)

Now for the CSS to be included vim server/web/bb_header and bb2_header in
the bottom inside of the HEAD add:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
                #menunomove
                {
                        position: fixed;
                        left: 1px;
                        top: 1px;
                }
</style>

After adding that section of code to the two header files and the tag wraps
in the footer give it some time to rewrite bb.html and bb2.html.

This works perfectly for me!  Note that the left: and top: were there from
the tutorial, commenting them broke it.
