    How could I add a sidebar to my wordpress theme ? What do I have to edit in CSS ?

    I edited some files but is not what I want. I want it like a sidebar on the right. This is the site: www.androidmaniac.net

    Take a look in the Themes and there should be a way of changing your layout to put the sidebar in position. If not then maybe think about changing your theme to one that has a sidebar.

    Click on Widgets in the left menu of the WordPress admin area and you should be able to add stuff to your sidebar from there.

    Yes. But the widget is not on the sidebar because it has no CSS.

    I added the sidebar somehow but I can't put it on the right of the page.. Here is what i have done:
    In mainindex.php:
    <div id="sidebar-nou"><?php get_sidebar ('sidebar.php'); ?></div>
    PHP:
    In sidebar.php
    <?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-nou' ) ) : ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    PHP:
    CSS:
    #sidebar-nou {padding: 13px 10px 10px 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #FFFFFF; border: solid 1px #ddd; border-top: 2px solid #c2c2c2; border-bottom: 2px solid #c2c2c2; }
    Code (markup):

    functions.php
    register_sidebar(array(        'name'=> 'Sidebarul meu',        'id' => 'sidebar-nou',        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',        'after_widget' => '</li>',        'before_title' => '<h2 class="titlu-fiecare-widget">',        'after_title' => '</h2>',    ));
    PHP:

    Yes as the widget can be easily drag and drop.

    I think you can get your side bar back by choosing the appropriate page template. Also you can do that if your installed theme has the option to do so.
