# Add sidebar using a shortcode

 * Is there a way to include a sidebar in a page using a shortcode?
 * Basically, I have a site with a sidebar which needs to have the same content 
   on each page (2 image links – I am using a plugin for this) and the sidebar needs
   to appear at the top right of the page – all pretty simple and standard so far……
 * …but on the home page I need the sidebar to appear a little way down the page(
   some of the editable page content needs to appear ABOVE the sidebar).
 * Basically, what I am thinking is if I use a page template to display the home
   page without a sidebar, I could then use a shortcode in the page content itself
   to place the sidebar wherever I need it (in this case, after the first couple
   of paragraphs and an image).
 * Something like…
 * [sidebar “primary-sidebar”]
 * …would be ideal!
 * But… is this possible?!
 * Thanks for any help 🙂
