Making a Theme Widget Ready Using This Mod?

Okay, so I have a theme that is not widget ready, so I’m trying to MAKE it widget ready….. (I read automattic tute already).

I’m doing something wrong. Here’s what the sidebar looks like now after trying and failing to make it widget ready with the mod below, which is obviously not right.

Help?

I changed 2 files:

1. functions.php

I added this code to it:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>

2. sidebar.php

I added these lines of code to it:

<?php if (!function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?> // added

AND

<?php endif; ?> // added

That should be it, right? That’s how you do it? It’s not working for me.

Help?
