 * You would need to create a new bottom sidebar template file and call it using`
   <?php get_sidebar('sidebar_file_name');?>` in the relevant template file(s) of
   your theme.

 * what would I put in the bottom sidebar template file though? I’m clueless!
 * I understand to call it I would put `<?php get_sidebar('sidebar_file_name');?
   >` in my index.php? page.php? and post.php?

 * Have a look at your existing sidebar.php file and use that as a template. Where
   you call the new sidebar depends very much on where you want it to appear and
   the way in which your current theme is constructed.
