John, This is all so well laid out that anyone can follow it, major kudos. When we install WordPress so easily and start blogging away we do not even think about the rudimentary practices that got us to where we are today. It is a good thing to go back and think like a static website designer and take advantage of prinicles such as these.
Thanks.
Rich

@Mike – you can make any pages you want show in the sidebar, or I should say, you can “exclude” any you don’t want to display. You can do that either in code or with a widget I believe… =;;

Thanks JT! Just found your site today, but it looks frickin’ great! I’m fairly new to all this, just converting my website over to wordpress, and really happy over all the flexibility I’ll have. (Becoming a widget collector really quickly here.)

I get the importance of organization here, and using pages in addition to posts (actually, was doing that and that’s how I found you in the first place.) Is there an easy way to make child pages only show up in the sidebar when the parent page is loaded? (ie, only conditionally excluded?) Probably a widget on that somewhere, right?….

Anyway, thanks for all the great info here, I’ll be digging in more tonight!

@Lana - In answer to your question, I've created a new post Templates for Alternate Sidebar Layouts. Enjoy! =)~

Hi. I’ve set up a site using pages. I created a page called Home, and set that page as the Front page (in the Reading options). All the pages share the same left and right sidebars (l_sidebar.php and r_sidebar.php).

Now I want to add a blog. I created a page called Blog for the posts, and selected it in Reading options.

What I’d like to have is a different right sidebar (possibly a different left one too) for the blog pages (and that can use Widgets). What is the easiest way to do this? I’d appreciate any help or a point in the right direction. =

I’m using the 3-column Revolution Blog theme.

tks in advance for your help sir…
I’m probably not the only one in this situation, and I guess it’s much faster to do video than text, well I think.
