 * ‘m using the boilerplate theme, and I have a page i created i have just one sentence
   on it, and i’m using the default page style. I think it includes a side-bar, 
   when I add a widget to the sidebar it shows up on the page, but what I don’t 
   understand is why the side bar is taking up the entire width of the page, and
   the title of the page and the sentence I added are showing above the sidebar (
   or what I think is the side bar…. here’s a link [http://mdala.org/development/test/](http://mdala.org/development/test/)
 * I’m new to PHP and WordPress so I’m really having a tough time trying to figure
   out how this is working. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would
   be great appreciated. Thanks.
