 * Would anyone know what’s wrong with this?
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
         register_sidebar(array(
                     'name'=>'Left Sidebar',
                     'before_widget' => '',
                     'after_widget' => '',
                     'before_title' => '<h3>',
                     'after_title' => '</h3>',
           ));
         register_sidebar(array('name'=>'Right Sidebar',
                     'before_widget' => '',
                     'after_widget' => '',
                     'before_title' => '<h3>',
                     'after_title' => '</h3>',
           ));
         }
       ```
   
 * My right sidebar will have the `<h3>` tags appear just fine. But the left sidebar,
   they won’t appear at all. Anyone know why that is?

 * There’s nothing wrong with that code. I use very similar code. Should work just
   fine.

 * I must be having a bizarre week. It’s totally not working for me. Everything 
   in the left sidebar that *should* have an `<h3>` heading does not – the `<h3>`
   just doesn’t appear at all. Does on the right side, no problem. Hmm…off to do
   more testing to see what’s up. I’ll post back if I figure it out…

 * Yep! You’re right Otto – thanks for that. I had replaced a standard widget with
   one of my own – that’s what was breaking it. I took it out, and all was hunky-
   dory.
