Alright, so in my blog, libertymatters.me, you can see that sidebar 1 and sidebar 2 are a little bit different. You can see that in sidebar two, everything is in a grey background, but not in sidebar 1.
Sidebar 2 is controlled by widgets, but not sidebar 1. Here is the code under sidebar.php
<div class="sidetop">
<div class="sidebar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/tab.php'); ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidesponsors.php'); ?>
<div class="search">
<form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div>
<input type="text" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" value="" id="searchsubmit" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="sidebar1">
<ul><b><h2 style="color:#FFA500; font-size:21px; text-align:left">Obamixx</h2></b>
<p><b>May 10, 2009</b></p><br /><br />
<p>“Americans know that they have a responsibility to live within their means and pay what they owe. But they also have a right to not get ripped off by the sudden rate hikes, unfair penalties, and hidden fees that have become all-too common in our credit card industry.” -O</p> <br /><br />
<p style="color:#800000">Of course it’s OK that The Team has already provided the very banks that issue these credit cards with 100’s of billions of your dollars.</p> <br />
<p>“You shouldn’t have to fear that any new credit card is going to come with strings attached, nor should you need a magnifying glass and a reference book to read a credit card application.” -O</p> <br /> <br />
<p style="color:#800000">Have you read the tax code lately?</p></ul>
</div>
<div class="sidebar2">
<ul>
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar 1') ) : else : ?>
<li>
<h2>Blogroll</h2>
<ul>
<?php get_links(-1, '<li>', '</li>', 'between', FALSE, 'name', FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hopefully you can help...thanks
