   I'm techno-illiterate, and just managed to wipe out the right sidebar of the site. How can I rebuild it? I see the codes to make the left one:<div id="sidebar-left">
   <div id="left-block">

   How do I start rebuilding the right side???

   Your best bet would be to upload the backup copy of the theme.

   I don't know about you, I keep them on my computer.
   Were you editing the files online or offline?

   Online. But I am not the Web guy (obviously) so I'd have to call him up and tell him how badly i fucked up and would rather not do that. I see a "pugin" but cant seem to plug it in. Have version 1.53.

   I cut and past the code that's in the instructions into the sidebar page, but it doesn't seem to work...

   If you don't have a backup copy of the template file... it is useless to cry for help here - contact the designer or whoever has a copy. It's a custom theme and nobody knows what was there before you messed with the code. Sorry.
   Next time ALWAYS keep an un-altered copy of every file before editing them.

   <rant>That's why the online theme editor should be banned... it doesn't have "undo" and newbies get screwed up</rant>

   True enough.

   But I figured out how to get the comments back up, but don't know how to get it from the left side to the right...
