By "put it", do you mean where it should lie in the HTML code -- that is
where it should be rendered by a non-CSS user-agent? Or do you mean where
you should physically position it on your CSS layout?

If the former, then put it towards the end, but you might want to add some
sort of:

<a href="#nav"><img src="1x1.png" alt="Skip to navigation"></a>

near the top of your content. (Though hopefully most people *won't* want
to skip straight to your navigation without reading the content!)

If the latter, try to make it "above the fold" when rendered on most
sensible screen resolutions.
