Creating a widget area in a page template or reformat the existing sidebar

  • I want to create an area at the bottom of a blank page template I will be using for my home page to be used to display information like recent posts, text links, … a widget area.

    There is currently a vertical sidebar – I want a horizontal one.
    I am not sure how to best accomplish this.

    I am somewhat familiar with the template code – I have been playing around with it all week. Sidebar where widgets are typically placed are called from within the template with a simple call.

    Can I create a div in my template and just call the widgets I want to display.

    Or can I change the vertical implementation of the home page sidebar and make it a horizontal one in the template? Not sure how to do that as the sidebar is called with a single function call.

    Is there a better approach?
