 * When I go to edit the sidebar.php, it states
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
        */
       ?>
       ```

 * You are going to have to do what everyone else should do if they are not familiar
   with php/css/html and read the Codex and other messages. There are simply too
   many variables to take someone by the hand and tell them how to do this. You 
   don’t provide enough information to even make a guess what you want to edit.

 * Does photogenic-designs offer any support when you purchase a theme? That might
   be a common question for them.

 * If that’s the only content in the sidebar file i think it just means it’s to 
   over-ride the default one from loading by not including one…
 * It’s proberly included using a custom include, the above just stops the default
   sidebar being loaded into the theme…
 * Check your header file for get_sidebar();…
 * I’d guess that’s been replaced by a custom sidebar function or it’s not there,
   and it’s coded elsewhere…
 * Of course that’s assuming the above posted code is the only code in the sidebar.
   php file…
 * I could still be wrong, but i’d still guess… 😉

 * I would like to thank you all for the responses!! I was figuring it was an override
   of some sort, one I can’t seem to find. I am new to wordpress, but can generally
   figure my way around html/css and this is just not making sense.
 * Thanks.
