 * Thank you for great theme and support.
 * Can you please add a sidebar to theme options? I would like to have a sidebar
   on a single post page and also on a landing page.
 * Maybe you could add this option to premium themes?

 * Thanks for using Tracks!
 * I’ve been getting a lot of requests for this, so I will be adding it as an upgrade
   soon.
 * Would you want it showing on all the pages?

 * I’d love the option to toggle it on the front page as well as posts/pages. Definitely
   worth buying.
 * Your theme is amazing and your snippet codebase has saved me so many questions.
   Thank you!! Fantastic theme, and even better support.

 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * I think I’m going to give the sidebar the following set of display options:
    - Posts
    - Pages
    - Front Page
    - Archives
    - Blog
    - Search results
 * There will be a checkbox for each that can be switched on/off from the Customizer.

 * Ben,
 * I don’t want to push you, but I am curious:
 * is there light on the horizont, can you estimate when the sidebar feature will
   be added?
    If it is in near future, there won’t be the need for me to poke in
   a child theme ;=(

 * It’s okay, I’m glad you asked. The sidebar upgrade most likely won’t be released
   for Tracks. There’s not an existing precedent in the design for how it should
   fit in, and after trying it I decided it was just too complicated to use and 
   customize.

 * That’s a pity!
 * As I am changing from a theme where sidebars were available at every post and
   page, my visitors are used to that and expect it.
 * I will check what I can do with a static homepage instead of the blog… maybe 
   I will find a solution / layout which will not confuse my users 😉
 * Cheers, Connie
