 * Hi,
    I recently changed the 8 – 4 span layout for a 6 – 3 – 3 being the middle
   column custom. My question is I don’t know if I’m using the code to generate 
   additional widgets correctly, once I create new widgets they appear correctly
   in the front end but if I like to go back and edit or add more, they disappeared
   from the admin widget, any advice will be appreciated.
 * Using:
 *     ```
       register_sidebars( 1,
       array(
       'name' => 'Second sidebar',
       'id'   =>  'second', ...
       AND
       if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || ! dynamic_sidebar( 'second' ) ) : ...
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance
    Abigail
