 * I goofed (again) and posted in the wrong forum – I’d repost here, but I got in
   trouble last time. I’m wondering how to create a widgetized footer in twenty 
   twelve. Here’s my screw up post in twenty ten: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgetizing-the-header-and-footer?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgetizing-the-header-and-footer?replies=1)
 * _[ Moderator note: You could have copied the whole other post into this thread
   as I’ve done now. ]_
 * I’d like to add a widgeted section to the header (I’m using a logo / masthead
   image, and have made the clickable title and tag line display:none) where I can
   add the client’s social icons.
 * I’d also like to make a widgeted footer area with three columns.
 * I’ve been reading this file: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes)
   but I’m not sure if the ‘sidebar’ verbiage applies. How do I use this information
   for the header and footer areas?

 * This should take care of the footer with three columns…

 * Thank you! I found this too, which helped a ton, and I got the top area sorted.
