Blogger templates are 1 or 2 columns by default. You might be looking for an extra sidebar just like this blog. I would like to share with you how to add the additional sidebar. Here`s how to do that!

Step 1. Go to HTML Editor and try to find :

#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 150px;
float: right;
margin-right: 4px;
background-color: #FFFFFF; word-wrap: break-word;
/* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
}

Just after the above lines. Copy and Paste to Add a new sidebar as shown below:

#mysidebar-wrapper {
width: 150;
float; left;
margin-left: 4px;
background-color: #FFFFFF; word-wrap: break-word;
/* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
}

Step 2. Now, scroll down and look for:

< div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
< b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>
< /b:section>
< /div>

Just after the above lines, Copy and Paste to Add new widgets as shown below.

< div id='mysidebar-wrapper'>
< b:section class='sidebar' id='mysidebar' preferred='yes'>
