 * Hello again all. Had to run back to my forum of pro’s for a more difficult task.
   I’m trying to add an additional sidebar to my theme.
    The second sidebar will
   consist of advertisement ads in four vertical 125×125 boxes.
 * The help files i referenced was in reference to simply adding a sidebar and even
   that wouldn’t work on my current theme, or the advertisement measurements i need
   incorporated in it. So, i decided to ask here.
 * I’ve incorporated all the files the help files said i would need, and added the
   advertisements.php it didn’t speak of. Hope someone can guide me in the right
   direction, and further hope, i haven’t forgotten how to use the pastebin.

 * Hmm. think i went about this a different way last time. Last time i used pastebin,
   the “paste” showed up in a grey box in this forum… Can’t recall how i did that.

 * Unless you’re going to wrap up your advertisements inside of Widgets, you don’t
   need to use `register_sidebar()` here. Just use this, where appropriate:
 *     ```
       <?php get_template_part( 'advertisements' ); ?>
       ```

 * Actually, thats exactly what i was going to do. Tie it in widgets. That way i
   can just put the source code into the widget and voila!
 * The helpfiles said to do it inside widgets, id need to create another sidebar.
   php file.

 * Do you have an existing dynamic sidebar? If so, are you _sure_ that you need 
   to create a _new_ dynamic sidebar?
 * That is: are you creating a new _column_ or _content area_ in your layout, to
   hold these advertisements, or do you want them to display somewhere in your _existing_
   layout?

 * I have an existing dynamic sidebar. At least i assume it is a dynamic one. Whenever
   i click on the widgets in sidebar1 i have dynamic widget options, but this could
   be because of my dynamics widgets plugin (im not sure if thats the same as a 
   dynamic sidebar). This is ALL new to me. I don’t even understand functions and
   such. I know nothing of theme design, i’m attempting to learn basics now. Thus,
   my newbie question 🙁 . Is there a way to tell if my sidebar is dynamic as well?

 * The theme im using, has “ad” boxes on it, but i can’t seem to find a way to “
   edit” them, or move widgets to them, or anything. I can’t seem to interact with
   that column at all.
 * You can see the theme here:

 * First, what Theme are you using? That will help me give more specific advice.
 * Second, your sidebar is dynamic if you can add content to it via `Dashboard -
   > Appearance -> Widgets`
