  My blog – http://politicalbooks.wordpress.com/
  I’m using Andreas04

  Okay, here are the three questions:

  (brief note, I do not have CSS upgrade, but I’m planning on getting it as long as I can figure this out :) )

  1. Can i move the sidebar from the left side to the right and vary its width?

  2. Can I have a different sidebar on different pages? Specifically, I’d like one sidebar for Posts and one sidebar for Pages.

  3. Or, can I simply turn the sidebar off for certain pages? Say, leave sidebar on for Posts and off for Pages, at which point I can use HTML to add in what links I need.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  1 Yes, IF you learn CSS. If you just post “Hey, give me the code to do that” you’ll be screwed.

  2 No.

  3 No. You can use Kubrick or similar, that has the sidebar only on the main blog, but can’t separate it out that finely.

  Thanks.

  1. I figured this one out, yay for me. :)
  2. Lame. On the editing page there’s a place to select “default template” but no other option. Is there any way to use different templates on pages than posts?

  2. If the theme has templates for pages, then they would be things like archive, blogroll, contact. In other words if you wanted a links page instead of a links widget, then you could make a links page and assign the links template and it would display your links in that page.
