 * You’ll need to first [register](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar)
   the sidebar and then load the sidebar in your template using [dynamic_sidebar](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar).
   From there it’s a matter of styling it using style.css to make it appear correctly.

         'description' => 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the left-hand side.',
         'before_title' => '<h1>',

 * Hello,
 * I realize this string is quite old, but I am looking to add a second column to
   my blog ([http://cloudywithachanceofwine.com](http://cloudywithachanceofwine.com)).
   I am currently using the Twenty Ten theme, and I love how clean it is, but in
   order to add ads, etc., I feel a second column is the way to go.
 * In this string, I see you created a Thirty Ten theme, but I cannot find this 
   when searching through themes in WordPress.org. Is this a live theme? If so, 
   how can I activate it? It really is awesome – nicely done!
 * Cheers,
    Dani

 * afaik, the (only) source is the linked site by Aaron – and particular the download
