 * Hi There:
 * I’m pretty new to WordPress.
    Would anyone be able to give me some ideas on what
   is the most standard way to create a Sidebar? I want one to the left and to the
   right of the default theme.
 * Would i still be able to place widgets there etc??
    Or is a widget sidebar, the
   best way to go.
 * I basically need a left and right side bar, both with the ability to add widgets,
   like tag clouds, recent posts in there etc..
 * Thanks a Bunch!
    Shelby.

 * Do this with ID=”sidebar” in template sidebar.php. You can have desired number
   of sidebars but remember to properly manage your list elements (i.e. categories
   pages etc) so that they may not cause any positioning problem. Then style your
   sidebar ID properly in your main style sheet and have your theme up and running.
