 * Absolutely great plugin! This plugin allowed us to have unique sidebars for different
   pages, making our selected theme much more useful. Thank you Andrico for developing
   it!
 * In case it helps others, here are the steps we followed to make it work. We were
   missing one step (3b), but the developer was awesome in helping us figure out
   what we were missing.
 * 1) Download, install and activate the Plugin.
 * 2) Go to the new Sidebars menu and DEFINE one or more new custom sidebars. Enter
   their name and add a brief COMMENT to describe them. (I say DEFINE because you
   actually create the content for the sidebars in Step 3.)
 * 3) Go to Appearance > Widgets. You will now see the sidebars you created on the
   right. (a) Add the new Multiple Sidebars Widget to the Default item on the right.(
   We did NOT add it to the Sidebar item, we added it to Default.) (b) Add your 
   content into each of the new Sidebar items on the right. This is where you actually
   get to create your sidebar items with the relevant text, graphics, etc.
 * 4) Create or Edit the page, post, or item where you want to use the new sidebars.
   A new section on the right should allow you to activate or deactivate the new
   Sidebars to add them to the page, post, etc. You can order them vertically (top
   and bottom).
 * 5) Go to Appearance > Editor and add the following code to Sidebar.php (We replaced
   everything on our old Sidebar.php with this code, which we pasted inside <div
   > and </div> tags, but maybe the div’s don’t matter.)
 * >  <?php
   >  global $MultipleSidebars; $MultipleSidebars -> dynamic_sidebar(); ?
   > >
 * That is it. The pages should now display the sidebar that you activated for each
   of them with the content that you gave them in the Widget’s page. There is also
   a sub-menu called OPTIONS inside the Sidebars menu where you can activate specific
   Sidebars as default for new pages, posts, etc.
 * I hope this helps other make good use of this useful plugin!
