Home / Fixing WordPress / I just want to add a sidebar to one of my pages

Can anyone give me the non-hmtl explanation of how to do this. I feel like I should just be able to select a page template type that I want but it doesn’t seem to be that easy.
Thanks in advance for your help

the non-hmtl explanation …
it takes html and php to add anew sidebar to a page …
if your theme does not provide a page template with sidebar, then you have to code something, ideally in a child theme.
for the php part, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes
