Blog Tutorials 3 explained using the transliteration tool for publishing in other languages besides English. So, we are done with publishing messages using the post editor – the main section of any blog. But, besides the main post section, there are many other sections of the blog, for example, the title header, the sidebar and the footer.
The sidebar is the column space next to the main section. This is the space that you usually see on websites that contain either link buttons, contents besides the main content, advertisements or anything else that is less important than the main content.
This blog has the sidebar on the right side. You can see the blog archive, a link, “ads by Google”, some content related to this blog, but not the actual content for which purpose this blog has been created, and a visitor’s counter. For getting all these contents, we require something similar to the post editor. But, anything like the post editor will help only in publishing text messages. What about the “ads by Google” and the visitor’s counter? That means there should be something more than a post editor. Yes! There certainly is something to help you achieve all this. You can put anything you wish to display in the sidebar with the help of a user friendly interface that has been provided. So, let us first get to know about this interface.
