You would first need to register a new sidebar area in your functions.php file – something like this:
EDIT: Sorry i am having real issues posting code here without the format getting all screwed-up
Then you will need to add that area to wherever you want it. To achieve this you will either need to add something to your home.php if you have one (and you want it on your homepage) or use some conditional logic in your function.php file.
When i add several areas to my homepage i usually do it in 3 stages…adding the actions, creating helper functions to test if the sidebars are active, and the actual functions to output the content, so:EDIT: Sorry i am having real issues posting code here without the format getting all screwed-up
You don’t always need to use a helper function, but that’s the way i do it. You may want to take a look at NickTheGeek’s website for some great tutorials on this kind of stuff…
Posh John,
The way to paste code here that works for me is to switch to the HTML tab, paste in your code, make sure there are no empty lines, select the code, click the “code” button in the toolbar, and you’re good to go. That should add an opening and closing “code” tag on either end of your code, which you can see in the HTML editor but not in the Visual editor.
I’ve found that I can switch back and forth from Visual to HTML and the code stays like it should.
