   I have a stunning for my blog and I'm so glad I found one that stands out from the crowd: http://www.thirdsectorlab.co.uk

   A friend of mine tried to widgetize the sidebar on my blog and he followed the instructions for doing so featured here: http://5thirtyone.com/discuss/topic/251

   The general instructions for setting up the blog are here:

   When I went into my WP admin I was faced with this message:

   No Sidebars Defined
   You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.

   Here’s the instructions: http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/

   I’m not entirely sure what’s gone wrong and how to either get my sidebar defined or get it widget enabled…can anyone help?

   Add the following to functions.php

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar();
   ?>

   Then in your sidebar add the following wherever you want the dynamic sidebar to begin:

   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   That should do it
