Adding second sidebar to twentyten

You’ll need to first register the sidebar and then load the sidebar in your template using dynamic_sidebar. From there it’s a matter of styling it using style.css to make it appear correctly.

Ok i did excatly what that link said but it didn’t populated widgets i put in the sidebar.

register_sidebar(array(
  'name' => 'Left Sidebar',
  'id' => 'left-sidebar',
  'description' => 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the left-hand side.',
  'before_title' => '<h1>',
  'after_title' => '</h1>'
));

and i called it in index.php
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'left-sidebar' ); ?>
what am i missing?

Where are you registering the sidebar?

or possibly even use the theme featured in this blog.

Hello,

I realize this string is quite old, but I am looking to add a second column to my blog (https://cloudywithachanceofwine.com). I am currently using the Twenty Ten theme, and I love how clean it is, but in order to add ads, etc., I feel a second column is the way to go.

In this string, I see you created a Thirty Ten theme, but I cannot find this when searching through themes in www.remarpro.com. Is this a live theme? If so, how can I activate it? It really is awesome – nicely done!

Cheers,
Dani
