Sidebar problem

You have a nice little <?php if(is_home()) in there.

so your code should look like this...

<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
<?php if(is_home()) mistylook_ShowAbout(); ?>
<?php if(!is_home()) mistylook_ShowRecentPosts();?>
<li class="sidebox">
<h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php
if (function_exists('wp_list_categories'))
{
wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=');
}
else
{
wp_list_cats('optioncount=1');
}
?>
</ul>
</li><?php mistylook_ShowLinks(); ?>
</div><!-- end sidebar -->
<div id="sidebar2">
<li class="sidebox2">
<h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=true'); ?></ul>
</li>
<li class="sidebox2">
<h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional"

</ul> <?php wp_meta(); ?>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

</ul>
</div><!-- end sidebar2 -->
</div><!-- end id:content -->
</div><!-- end id:container -->
