 * Hi everybody,
    I’m working on the sidebar.php file and can’t for the life of 
   me guess what I’m doing wrong. I’m not a php pro but I can defend myself. I want
   a portion to display only on the home page and a page template. On everything
   else is should be hidden, but I don’t get this result. Can’t tell you why. Any
   help to clarify this would be much appreciated. Code below:
 *     ```
       <div id="rightColB">
       					<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/side-subscribe.png" class="" alt="subscrive via RSS"/></a><br />
       					<?php get_search_form(); ?>
       					<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/side-latest.png" class="sidetitle" alt="latest posts"/>
       						<?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
       							<ul>
       							  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       							  <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
       							  <?php endwhile;?>
       							</ul>
   
       					<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/side-sites.png" class="sidetitle" alt="sites we like"/>
       							<ul>
       							<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&amp;categorize=0'); ?>
       							</ul>
       							<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>				
   
       				<?php if( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
   
       					<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/side-flickr.png" class="sidetitle" alt="flickr photo stream"/>
       					<div id="flickr">
       					<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?count=6&amp;display=random&amp;size=s&amp;layout=y&amp;source=user&amp;user=36685787%40N04"></script>
       					</div>	
   
       				<?php } ?>
   
       </div><!-- close RIGHTCOL-->
       ```

 * hi
 * for one thing, to display code on the top page, use is_front_page() not is_home()
