 * Hi!
 * I was wondering (please don’t shoot me, I’m a newbie WordPress-user):
 * I absolutely love your theme!
    But is it possible to use two sidebars instead
   of the right OR left sidebar? And if so, how can I do this?
 * Thanks!

 * lol… no worries, even I was a newbie at one point. Anyway, thanks for the great
   comment about my theme. However, I have some bad news and some good news. First
   the bad…To add another sidebar to the theme would require you to do some coding,
   but could be done. The good news is that my Pro version of Encounters has more
   sidebar (widget positions) built in, including a left layout, right, and even
   a left + right option.

 * Hi!
    Thanks for answering! I hoped it could be done in the code, and actually
   in a former past I’ve studied some IT, but I just wasn’t sure. 🙂 If I had paypall
   or Mastercard (or any) I would consider buying the Pro Version, but right now
   I guess I’m stuck with finding out myself. Could be a good learning process as
   well, of course.
 * Thanks in any case! 🙂

 * Always a good learning experience…best way is to setup a development site and
   explore the theme files, and see how the code looks, check out online tutorials,
   play with the code, and eventually you will get to the point you could even make
   themes. Basically it’s all about exploring and playing with files and code.
