# Creating Custom Sidebars

 * I am wondering if there is any documentation for “Custom Sidebars” plugin.
 * I am looking for a plugin where I can create an additional custom sidebar and
   found the “Custom Sidebar” plugin as being very popular via the download count.
 * I have a standard WP out-of-the-box sidebar that appears on all my pages. All
   I want to do is create an additional custom sidebar that contains arbitrary text
   or HTML and have it appear on the site’s Home Page in addition to the standard
   sidebar.
 * Is there any documentation as to (a) whether the Custom Sidebars plugin provides
   that and (b) how to make it happen?
 * If not, do you recommend a better plugin for creating additional sidebars?
 * Thanks.

 * What do you think about instead of creating additional custom sidebar just create
   a widget that will only display on the home page of your site?
 * Kind Regards,
