 * I’m techno-illiterate, and just managed to wipe out the right sidebar of the 
   site. How can I rebuild it? I see the codes to make the left one:<div id=”sidebar-
   left”>
    <div id=”left-block”>
 * How do I start rebuilding the right side???

 * Your best bet would be to upload the backup copy of the theme.

    I don’t know about you, I keep them on my computer. Were you editing the 
   files online or offline?

 * Online. But I am not the Web guy (obviously) so I’d have to call him up and tell
   him how badly i fucked up and would rather not do that. I see a “pugin” but cant
   seem to plug it in. Have version 1.53.
 * I cut and past the code that’s in the instructions into the sidebar page, but
   it doesn’t seem to work…

 * If you don’t have a backup copy of the template file… it is useless to cry for
   help here – contact the designer or whoever has a copy. It’s a custom theme and
   nobody knows what was there before you messed with the code. Sorry.
    Next time
   ALWAYS keep an un-altered copy of every file before editing them.
 * <rant>That’s why the online theme editor should be banned… it doesn’t have “undo”
   and newbies get screwed up</rant>

 * True enough.
 * But I figured out how to get the comments back up, but don’t know how to get 
   it from the left side to the right…
