More than one sidebar

I would like to have 2 sidebars to choose from when making a page. I would to have a sidebar for pages like about and contact, then a different sidebar for the blog section of the site. What comes to my head first would be to make just 2 different sidebars with different names and in the template for the about and contact page I could use the code get_sidebar1(); and then on the blog part of the site I could use the code get_sidebar2(); I dont know if that would be the correct way and I dont know how adding widgets would react to this but thats my first Idea. Any suggestions?
