WP as a CMS edit sidebar content

Hi

I have at times used a WordPress post as a repository for sidebar content. I used to create a category called Sidebar and display the posts in it in the sidebar using a secondary query loop. Nowadays I would probably use a custom taxonomy instead to do the same thing. This lets the user edit the sidebar content w/ the same WP editor they edit posts with.

If you need help with a secondary query loop this is a good article:

I would put the loop code either in sidebar.php or else in a PHP widget.
