Ok on David Naylor I hope you noticed the 2 widget sidebars, well here is the code:

in your Theme’s function.php

if (function_exists("register_sidebar")) {
        register_sidebar(Array("name" => "sidebar"));
        register_sidebar(Array("name" => "sponsors"));
}

Then in your template to add for column 1

< ?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') or !dynamic_sidebar("sidebar")) { ?> etc.. < ?php } ?>

and likewise for column 2

< ?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') or !dynamic_sidebar("sponsors")) { ?> etc.. < ?php } ?>

screen shoot for Admin panel on it
sidebars

    Hi Dave,
    Is there a wordpress plugin you used to display code in this post?, I am new to blogging but want to put code samples up in wordpress.

    If you could let me know I’d be much obliged

    This is great, but when you say ‘Then in your template to add for column 1′, what template do you mean? Which file do you edit here?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Really nice and easy solution. You make my day :-)
    Do you know if there is any possibility to add the same widget on both sidebars?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hy. Thanks for the code.

    I had some problems with the template syntax but i managed to solve it/ For others who might experience problems with the column template syntax i suggest just using the sidebar.php syntax for the dynamic_sidebar and change

    || !dynamic_sidebar( )) : ?>
    || !dynamic_sidebar(‘sponsors) ) : ?> or which ever name you chose for your sidebar
