 * I have a requirement that seems like it would be VERY easy to do, but I cannot
   seem to make it happen. I need a DIFFERENT custom header across each page.
 * I have registered a new custom widget in the functions.php file. I then call 
   the function, if the widget is active, in the header.php file.
 * Great – it works. The widget is registered, appears in the backend of WordPress,
   and if I place something like a text widget inside it, it displays on the front
   end. I have installed the “Display Widgets” plugin and this allows me to select
   which page the widget shows up on – Great – it works too.
 * But now I need another banner on another page – but there is no additional instance
   of this widget available to me in the admin. How do I accomplish what I need 
   without a huge IF/ELSE statement hardcoded?
