 * Why is my sidebar showing up when I run the following code. I am not calling 
   get_sidebar();!!!!! All I want is my header
 *     ```
       <?php
       define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
       require('./wp-blog-header.php');
       ?>
       <div id="content">
       Hello, this is a little page I made
       </div>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Cheers, thanks for the help,
    gBrent

 * Which theme are you using? It is possible that get_sidebar() is being called 
   in footer.php.
