I've got a site with 3 columns. I'd like to create a WordPress Page who's content will show up in the left column of the template. This way the client can edit the content (month's events) in the Page, and it will update across the whole site. In the middle is the blog, and the right column I'd like to do the same as the left.
I'm sure this is just a matter of using php to call up the specific Page, but I'm not that experienced with that... Will someone help me here?
And for that matter, is it possible to display x-amount of characters of the first post in 2 or 3 different categories on the front page? So, the first page is sampling all the different blog categories. This would is useful when there are different authors posting in different categories. I need help!
Well, if anyone else finds this, I found this plug in:

which allows you to stick a page's content into your sidebar. Fancy enough. I've edited it to allow to do it again in a second column. Works great.
