 * I am hoping someone can help me out.
 * I am trying to create my own template and all is going pretty well so far. But
   I go to the widget page and it says:
 * > No Sidebars Defined
   >  You are seeing this message because the theme you are 
   > currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you
   > are able to change.
 * I have no clue how to fix this.
 * I have a functions.php page with the code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
           register_sidebar();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * on my sidebar page I have:
 *     ```
       <div class="sidebar">
       <ul>
   
       <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
   
       	<li id="calendar">
       		<center><?php get_calendar(); ?></center>
       	</li>
   
       	<?php wp_list_pages('depth=3&title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>'); ?>
   
       	<li><h2><img src="http://www.shadowsmoon.com/moon/wp-content/themes/luna/images/sidebutton.jpg" border="0">&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
       		<ul>
       			<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
       		</ul>
       	</li>
   
       	<li><h2><img src="http://www.shadowsmoon.com/moon/wp-content/themes/luna/images/sidebutton.jpg" border="0">&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
       		<ul>
       			<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
       		</ul>
       	</li>
   
       	<?php get_links_list(); ?>
   
       	<li><h2><img src="http://www.shadowsmoon.com/moon/wp-content/themes/luna/images/sidebutton.jpg" border="0">&nbsp;&nbsp;Site Info</h2>
       		<ul>
       			<?php wp_register(); ?>
       			<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
       			<?php wp_meta(); ?>
       		</ul>
       	</li>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       </ul>
   
       </div>
       ```

 * This may not affect anything but try adding a 1 in sidebar.php and functions.
   php
 * SIDEBAR.php
 * <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else :?
   >
 * FUNCTIONS.php
 * <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(1); ?>
