   I'm wondering if there is a way to display content from Pages in the sidebar (outside of The Loop).

   I'd like to create Pages that I can edit via the WordPress interface, and have that content update across the site's archive pages, category pages, the homepage, etc.

   For example, I might have a Page called Jazz_Sidebar_Pic. And that Page will simply be a picture of Miles Davis. I'd like to have that picture "pulled" into the sidebar of my Jazz category pages, and when I want to change the picture to Charles Mingus, all I'll need to do is edit the Jazz_Sidebar_pic page.

   I think this is pretty simple, but I can't figure out the template tags to use (get_page()?). Example code would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks!

   to do it by page slug:
   

   <?php $about_page = get_page_by_title('about');
   echo "<p>$about_page->post_content</p>"; ?>

   put the code in your sidebar.

   To selectively display the page (only when a condition is true)
   

   <?php
   if ( ... condition ...) {
     $about_page = get_page_by_title('about');
     echo "<p>$about_page->post_content</p>"
   } elseif ( ... condition ...) {
     $another_page = get_page_by_title('another');
     echo "<p>$another_page->post_content</p>"
   } ?>
