Sidebar help and other input

    I am new to WordPress and am in need of input on the best way to accomplish arranging my content and setting up a sidebar for specific pages or categories.

    This is what I am trying to accomplish:

    Home page – page with a section for a flash slideshow of featured past projects, featured artist/client, flash mp3 widget, facebook/twitter links in a widget, short basic info paragraph about the company.

    About page – company bio

    Service page with sub-pages of services

    Links page (rather than the sidebar blogroll). **Is this possible to convert blogroll to an actual page?

    Company News page – company news only, no other news.

    Clients/Artists page – On the theme this needs to be a drop down or pull down menu of all Clients.

    On the Clients/Artists indiviual page, I need a sidebar for that individual that contains a headshot/PR image as well as a links listing to that individual clients web site, archived news listing, events listing, photo gallery page of photos that can be downloaded in hi-res, and an optional flash mp3 widget to play a few selected songs. So for example if I am on Michael Jackson’s page there would be a side bar of links for other wordpress posts or pages of his content and a link to his web site.

    I’m thinking Pages for the company pages content. Posts using Categories for each client/artist.

    Example Categories:

    Company News

    Clients
    – Michael Jackson
    – Prince
    – Reba
    – Hank Williams Jr.

    Now for things like client event pages or photo pages, would there be a sub category of each client called Events, Photos?

    Clients
    – Michael Jackson
    –Photos
    – Prince
    –Events
    –Photos
    – Reba
    –Events
    –Photos
    – Hank Williams Jr.
    –Events
    –Photos

    On a selected client page, Reba, the side bar would be:

    [PR Image]
    Events
    Photo Gallery
    News Archive
    Official Web Site

    [Flash mp3 player widget]

    How would I accomplish this sidebar per client page? Is there a plug-in or widget for this?
    I need to be able to easily add new clients sidebar fairly easily.

    Any input is greatly appreciated!
