I have followed the instructions here for adding a sidebar to an existing template:
http://wiki.jalakai.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php/tutorials/addsidebar
However, my "sidebar" shows the Namespace Index. I do have a page named Sidebar, as you can see, under the publiced namespace.
http://host.coastal.edu/cwsec/publiced/publicedhome
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated!
(currently the sidebar is in the wrong place, as well, but I'm working on one issue at a time)
edit: solved this one in a very convoluted manner.
