 * Well I feel stupid, through a lack of caffeine and sleep, I made the rookie mistake
   of not making sure I’d actually saved the sidebar file I’d created.
 * Thank you though, I’d be sitting here for hours trying to figure what I’d done
   if it weren’t for your help!

 * Just tried what you advised and it brought the entire site down until I put it
   back to how it was.
 * I think I’m getting closer. Everything should in theory work.
 * It turns out I can register as many sidebars as I like and not encounter problems.
   It’s when I call them with get_sidebar(‘idhere’) that it starts to mess up.
 * If I call the ‘about’ ID on both the press and about pages, works fine. If I 
   use both ‘about’ and ‘press’ on the same page in different get_sidebar tags, 
   it works fine. However if I put
    get_sidebar(‘about’) on the about page, and 
   get_sidebar(‘press’) on the press page, both go back to the default sidebar.
 * I think I’m a bit out of my depth.

 * Turns out I have done something.
 * It works if I have just one widget group registered in the functions file, however
   if I add more than one it stops everything.
 * Odd considering there are other widget’s already defined in this theme. Now starting
   to really head scratch.
