   Hi Kreisi,

   I can't seem to find where to edit the sidebar in on of the pages..This is probably a really simple thing to do, sorry for the silly question!

   Hey,

   In WordPress admin, under Appearance -> Widgets you have a list of available widgetized areas on the right side of the page. You need to drag and drop the widgets you want to display in the order you want them to show up.

   Cheers,
   James

   Thanks James! How about the sidebar that's featured in my blog (posts section)?

   You need to add another widget area for the blog posts. Open up functions.php and at the end of the file you'll find this code:

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name' => 'News Section Sidebar',
   		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   	'after_widget' => '</div>',
   	'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
   	'after_title' => '</h3>',
   	));

   Immediately under it add this code:

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name' => 'Blog Pages Sidebar',
   		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   	'after_widget' => '</div>',
   	'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
   	'after_title' => '</h3>',
   	));

   Next, open up sidebar.php and immediately under this code:

   <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && !is_page() && dynamic_sidebar('News Section Sidebar') ) : endif; ?>

   add this code:

   <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_single() && dynamic_sidebar('Blog Pages Sidebar') ) : endif; ?>

   This will add a new widgetized area which you can drag and drop widgets to for the Blog single pages.
