I'm at my wit's end with Wordpress. It can do anything you want it to... so long as you're really concerned about integrating with Twitter and not about hosting an image gallery (for example).

What I'm trying to do, is create a page for the sidebar using a custom page template. That way, the sidebar would be user-editable.

The problem is, I don't know how to reference the sidebar page: example.com/sidebar. As many of you know, Wordpress creates naked links, making HTML and PHP includes impossible.

I can't reference the PHP file in the directory the page is based on. Doing so references the document before Wordpress runs the loop, which means there's no dynamic content.

I've banged my head off the keyboard for the last month after getting numerous replies in the Wordpress forums along the lines of, "Yeah, two sidebars, you can do that."

Please help. Thanks!
