 * I’ve searched the forums but I haven’t found anything to address this…
 * Just moved for WP1.2 to 1.5. I previously used WP as a CMS. I had a separate 
   folder with a separate index page for each of my catagories each page had it’s
   own custom sidebar with additional information relating to the main content.
 * In WP 1.5 I thought that the new “Create Pages” feature would allow me to do 
   something similar without having to show/hide catagory posts, but I’m pretty 
   confused about how to create a custom sidebar for and individual page…is this
   possible?
 * edit….okay I’ve read some more. Templates? Am I on the right track?
 * Thanks.
    John

 * Okay, I’ve read this but I’m still confused as to how I can call a different 
   sidebar for each Page. Please help if you can tell me how it’s done.
