 * Hi all
    I have this code on my index page which works fine. `<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/
   sidebar1.php'); ?>` I have a block of code that I want to use across my blog.
   So I cut the code and paste it in a new php file and save it in my theme folder.
   Then I can use the same code above just changing the filename correct? TIA

 * Rename sidebar1.php to sidebar-one.php and then use `<?php get_sidebar('one');?

 * Thanks, so what is the difference between templatepath and get_sidebar- obviously
   sidebar is a function?

 * `TEMPLATEPATH` shouldn’t be used in themes. It’s for internal core use only.

 * So I should change the instances of TEMPLATEPATH to `get_sidebar('/sidebar1.php')`
   for my code in index.php and archive.php?

 * No – use the approach I outlined above.

 * OK so I change my original code from `<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.
   php'); ?>` to
 * `<?php getsidebar('/sidebar1.php'); ?>`

 * No! Rename sidebar1.php to sidebar-one.php and then use `<?php get_sidebar('one');?
