How Do I Add Something to My Sidebar?
Here's my directory: http://www.virtualassistantnetworking.com/directory/

We have very specific requirements that have to be met before people can list in our directory. I want to add a link in the right sidebar area that takes them to our Directory Listing Rules (http://www.virtualassistantnetworking.com/...ry-listing-rules.htm).

I've looked at the templates and css and I can't figure out on my own where or how to do that. Can anyone help guide me?

The template for the right sidebar is include_rightsidebar.html

I looked at that one and I don't see where I can add my link code. Can you provide a bit more detail to help me understand this?

okay... For example, my site is basicly a blog. So I've begun to create little globals that display things like links to the laxt 'x' articles Iwrote. So in include_rightsidebar.html, I changed the template from:

Code:
<div id="rightsidebar">
</div>

To:

Code:
<div id="rightsidebar">
<%include recent_posts.html%>
<%include recent_pings.html%>
</div>

So that my sidebar widgets load into that section. Basicly anything between the <div> tags should show up in the sidebar.
