 * So before I muck up anything on functions.php, can you point me to the right 
   place to add an additional sidebar, to leverage widgets/sidebar on various pages?
   
   e.g. sidebar with social = left-sidebar e.g. sidebar with comments = right-sidebar
   eg. sidebar with ‘other’ = ‘other-sidebar’

 * If you want to display different content in the existing sidebars, depending 
   on the page being displayed, use [Widget Logic](http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/).
 * If you want to create a new widget area, besides the existing 5 ones (left and
   right sidebars and the three footer widget areas), [this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes)
   would be your starting point.
