   I ma not a php guy, but I have been trying to get this to work with no luck. I have created a different sidebar for the baseball category and I have edited my category.php to try and make the baseball sidebar appear when the baseball category is selected. Here is the category code I have been trying to get working

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <?php if ( in_category('26') ) { ?>
   <?php include ('pagesidebar_baseball.php'); ?>
   <?php } else { ?>
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   <div class="middle">

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <p><small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php the_author() ?></small> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?></p>

   <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
   </div>
   <!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button BEGIN -->
   <?php echo "<div class=\"addthis\"><img src=\"http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"AddThis Social Bookmark Button\" /></div>"; ?>
   <!-- AddThis Bookmark Post Button END -->

   </div>
   <div class="br">
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <div>
   <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Entries') ?></div>
   <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries »') ?></div>
   </div>
   
   <?php else : ?>

   <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
   <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   </div>

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I am doing something wrong and I am very confused.
   Can a php master please step in and point me in the right direction?

   I still cant get it right. I now have 2 sidebars ..lol
   This is what I have at the top of my category.php file, maybe you can give me some help?

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   is_home()
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   } elseif (is_category(26)) {
   <?php include ('rsidebar_baseball.php'); ?>

   I suck at this.

   Well, I am not a coder but even I can tell that code will never work.
   Take a look at the examples on the codex page I've linked to above:
