 * I’ve read the conditional statements page in the codex but couldn’t find what
   I’m looking for. I want to display a specific sidebar when viewing a single post
   in a specific category. Something like
 * `if_post(cat=1);
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-exhibitions.php'); elseif_post(
   cat=2) include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-news.php');
 * kinda deal that I can stick into my single.php. Any ideas?
