 * I am familiar with HTML but PHP is new to me. I would like to be able to edit
   my template so that the sidebars have additional information static on all the
   pages. In my editor I have left_sidebar.php but do not know how to add anything
   to it. In the list of editable pages there is no right sidebar file and right_sidebar.
   php does not work. My URL is [http://www.marketingartfully.com](http://www.marketingartfully.com)
   and I would gladly trade some niche marketing help for some PHP help if that 
   would be appropriate!
    Thank you in advance for any assistance!

 * sidebar.php – normally IS the right sidebar, by default. Just open it in a plain
   text editor, edit it and after that upload it to your site.
    Do NOT use the online
   theme editor: it doesn’t have an UNDO button!

 * I checked that and no file is found with that name BUT I also emailed the programmer
   and hopefully he can help. Are those kinds of questions for this forum? I want
   to make sure I am asking the right people!!! Thank you for your time….Tara

 * you didnt look in the right place for the file. Its inside the theme directory,
   along with the rest of your theme files. Proof of it’s existence is right here:
