How do I add Non-Widgetized Column as Sidebar

    I am using the arclite theme and I currently have one right sidebar to which I have added a number of widgets. I want to add another column on the right. I want this additional column not to be widgetized — I want to be able to add whatever content I want to add without having to use a widget. I have tried adding code to single.php to show another column but I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

    Basically, I want to add this second column and embed a <table><tr><td> in it …. I want to be able to fully customize this column and add whatever I want to it. However, I need it to appear right next to the sidebar as another column. Please help!

    I really want to be able to stick to the arclite theme and not use another theme, since I have made a number of modifications to my existing theme.

    What you can do is create a new file called say sidebar2.php

    Insert whatever content you want in there.

    Then in your index.php you want to add:

    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar2.php’); ?>

    and you want to customize your css to position this new sidebar.

    or just replace all code from sidebar-secondary.php with the content you want…

    I will try both of these to determine the best option. Thanks!

    I created a second sidebar template, named sidebar2.php. Using the <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar2.php’); ?> code mentioned above, I am able to add it to all the templates in which I need it. Also, in sidebar2.php, I do not use widgets, just straight HTML. Thanks all.
