   I'm trying to add a sidebar to my single posts, but I have little knowlege of what I'm doing and it's being added to the bottom (and it looks a bit oversized).
   A single post link is:
   http://www.calhouncycleshopcast.com/?p=263

   The singlepost code is this:

   <?php include "header.php"; ?>
    <div id="container">
     <div id="topcontent"></div>
     <div id="singlecontent">
      <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div class="postnavigation">
        <div class="right">
         <?php next_post(' % »','','yes') ?>
        </div>
        <div class="left">
         <?php previous_post('« %','','yes') ?>
        </div>
       </div>
       <div class="singlepost">
        <div class="title" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
         <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
          <?php the_title(); ?>
         </a>
        </div>
        <h3><span class="posted"><?php _e("Posted on "); ?></span>
         <?php the_time('l j F Y',display); ?>
        </h3>
        <div class="storycontent">
         <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
        </div>
       </div>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <div id="bottomcontent"></div>
     </div>
    </div>
   <?php include('footer.php'); ?>

   Thanks for any help,
   Luke

   Hi Luke,

   It would appear that the current theme you are using for your blog is a single-column layout. In order to add a sibebar you may need to tweak the entire layout and design of your blog.

   I can suggest a few of options:

   1. Try a 2 or more column theme from the WordPress Theme Directory.
   2. Hire a freelancer to re-work your current layout (I'm available, btw!).

   Hope this helps!
   Derek M.
