Where is my Second Sidebar?

    I am currently using the Silverlight-01 Theme.

    The theme says it’s supposed to come with 2 sidebars. I tried dragging widgets into both Sidebar 1 and Sidebar 2 under >Presentation >Widgets. However, only the widgets from side Sidebar 2 show up (they show on the right hand side of the screen). How can I make the widgets I’m dragging into Sidebar 1 show up on the left hand side of the screen?

    Since I think the theme was meant to have 2 sidebars, I didn’t want to mess with any the code in index.php and screw it up (I’m a total noob to this).

    However I did create the files sidebar1.php and sidebar2.php as the article below describes.

    Thanks for the help.

    I thought it was supposed go on the left side just like the one on the right. When I downloaded the theme, it said it has has 2 sidebars…

    all i can find is where it is 2 column…meaning 1 for content and 1 sidebar…2 sidebars would be a 3 column theme.

    you can put another sidebar in if you follow the instructions but you will have to shrink one or both of your current columns

    I guess I though that 2 columns meant that there was one on each side. Doh!

    Thanks for the help. I would have probably sat here scratching my head until someone else said something.
