   okies, so this guy wants to edit his site on a daily basis.
   this is after i have already written the entire site in flash, well he changed his mind and had me rebuild the entire site in plain html and php. and i am no genius with php, but i muddle though.

   well he finally told me the other day he wants to be able to edit the site on a daily basis.

   i thought wordpress would be perfect for his needs.
   my family gets to eat if i do these for him.

   anyways. lol. enough rambling
   my problem is this

   i created the site, i created the functions.php
   the code looks like

   <?php register_sidebars(2, array('name'=>'sidebar %d')); ?>
   <?php register_sidebars(4, array('name'=>'footer %d')); ?>

   so i am thinking i have to make
   2 sidebars named sidebar-sidebar1.php and sidebar-sidebar2.php
   and 4 files
   named
   sidebar-footer1.php, sidebar-footer2.php,
   sidebar-footer3.php, sidebar-footer4.php

   so in my footer file i call for the footer side bars.

   </div></div>
   		<div id="content">
   			<div id="col_holder">
   		<?php get_sidebar('footer1'); ?>
   		<?php get_sidebar('footer2'); ?><br />
           <?php get_sidebar('footer3'); ?>
     </div>

   well, yes it opens these files, but when i go to the admin widget panel and drag and drop in a widget and save it, the widget does not show.

   here is the code i am using on the footer1.php and so one it's pretty all much the same

   sidebar-footer3.php

   <div class="col_sm_holder last">
   			<div class="col_sm">
   
   <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
      <li>{static sidebar item 1}</li>
      <li>{static sidebar item 2}</li>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   		        <div class="col_sm_bot"></div>
           	    </div>

   well it shows the side bar, and says
   '{static sidebar item 1}
   {static sidebar item 2}
   `

   but it wont show the widgets.

   :(

   i am very very sad and hungry i am really really hungry.

   can someone please take the time out of your day to tell me why it's not showing the widgets?

   thank you so very very much.

   omg

   okies if anyone has this problem in the future, here was the solution to this glitch, and please try not to laugh at me.

   <div class="col_sm_holder last">
   			<div class="col_sm">
   <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
                           <li>{static sidebar item 1}</li>
                           <li>{static sidebar item 2}</li>
   <?php endif; ?>
                           </div>
   		        <div class="col_sm_bot"></div>
           	        </div>

   like i said i used the same code on each page for the side bars.

   my glitch was forgetting the number of the sidebar.lol.

   corrected code looks like

   <div class="col_sm_holder last">
   			<div class="col_sm">
   <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar(

   1
   

   ) ) : ?>
                           <li>{static sidebar item 1}</li>
                           <li>{static sidebar item 2}</li>
   <?php endif; ?>
                           </div>
   		        <div class="col_sm_bot"></div>
           	        </div>

   sooooo

   in short i missed putting in a number of the side bar i wanted to use, on each side bar page. called.

   you guys are awesome

   thank you thank you!
