 * I am trying to change my homepage layout to a 3 column design on a test site.
   Can’t get the right sidebar to display right. It is showing up on the left under
   the left column. What have I done wrong? It starts with “FREE GUIDE.” Thanks!!

 * p.s. Originally I tried to create 2 sidebars so I could just call in the 2 sidebars
   where needed. This produced an error. Is there any way to create 2 sidebars? 
   What .php docs would need to be altered? Instead, I reverted to using the theme’s
   sidebar on the right, and creating a second column in the content area and calling
   in a sidebar widget…

 * Look for #sidebar {} in the css file and add width: 200px;

 * Thanks but my sidebar already has CSS for 200px. Here is the code on my stylesheet:`#
   sidebar {
    width: 200; float: right; }`
 * I do know the very basics and I feel like I did everything right. Which is why
   I am now stumped! Hope somebody can help me. THANKS!
