 * My template came with 1 sidebar I needed 2. I got that working (after hours),
   however I can’t seem to get the styles of the 2 side bars to match. I am new 
   to this and experimenting my way through.
    The site is [http://www.weddingsorangecountyny.com/](http://www.weddingsorangecountyny.com/)
   I don’t know if it is a style thing or a function thing
 * Any suggestions would be appreciated
 * here is my function code
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
       register_sidebar(3);
       	register_sidebar( array(
       		'name' => __('Sidebar1, side1'),
       		'name' => __('Sidebar2, side2'),
       		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget-style">',
       		'after_widget' => '</div></div>', 
   
       		'before_title' => '<div class="bg-h">
       							<div class="bg-hr">
       								<h2>',
       		'after_title' => '</h2>
       					</div>
       				</div>
   
       			<div class="inside-widget">',
   
       			));
       // Links
   
       function widget_links_with_style() {
       			?>
   
       <div class="widget-style" id="links_with_style">
       <ul>
           <li>
               <?php wp_list_bookmarks(array(
               'title_before' => '<div class="bg-h">
       							<div class="bg-hr">
       								<h2>',
               'title_after' => '</h2>
       					</div>
       				</div>
       			<div class="inside-widget">',
               'category_before' => '',
               'category_after' => '</div>'
               )); ?>
           </li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       <?php
          }
          if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
          register_sidebar_widget(__(' Links With Style'), 'widget_links_with_style');
   
       // Search
       	function widget_theme727_search() {
       ?>
       <div class="widget-style" id="search">
       	<div class="bg-h">
               <div class="bg-hr">
       		    <h2><?php _e('Search','theme727'); ?></h2>
               </div>
           </div>
           <div class="inside-widget">
               <div>
                   <?php// include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
                   <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>" style="padding:0; margin:0;">

                   </form>
               </div>
           </div>
       </div>
       <?php
       }
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
           register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_theme727_search');
   
       function tm_date($d='', $before='', $after='', $echo = true) {
       	global $id, $post, $day, $previousday, $newday;
       	$the_date = '';
       	$the_date .= $before;
       	if ( $d=='' )
       		$the_date .= mysql2date(get_option('date_format'), $post->post_date);
       	else
       		$the_date .= mysql2date($d, $post->post_date);
       	$the_date .= $after;
       	$previousday = $day;
       	$the_date = apply_filters('the_date', $the_date, $d, $before, $after);
       	if ( $echo )
       		echo $the_date;
       	else
       		return $the_date;
       }
       ?>
       ```

       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
               <div class="side-bar-left">
               <div class="ind">
   
               <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else :?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
