 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to get the sidebar like I have on the main page of [http://www.pinnycohen.com](http://www.pinnycohen.com)
   to show up on the article view page ([http://www.pinnycohen.com/2007/01/14/marketing-wisdom/technical-selling-vs-cliche-selling/](http://www.pinnycohen.com/2007/01/14/marketing-wisdom/technical-selling-vs-cliche-selling/))
 * Can someone help?
 * When I add in “sidebar.php” it just shows up all the way at the bottom.

 * Looks like you got it to work. It’s actually the get_sidebar() function call 
   that you add in. You may also have to change the name of the main content div
   but that depends on the theme.
