    i have a website but want to create a lander page using the same website theme files.

    the website has a left sidebar and the content on the right.

    i want to create the same thing for the lander but the left sidebar to have different information.

    how do i create a new sidebar for that template i chose in the page? i created a new template called Lander template.

    you should be able to register the extra sidebar and have it appear in the widgets area as a separate place to put the widgets.

    this isn't working.

    i currently have a sidebar on the left and the content is on the right. i need to switch them...move content to the left and the sidebar to the right.

    i understand it could be a simple css fix with sidebar being float:left; and content being float:right but when i do that the content gets pushed down to the very bottom, near the footer.

    and there is no #content...

    any ideas?
