Custom Sidebars

SideBars are a great way to spice up any article--that's why magazines and newspapers use sidebars in their articles all the time. Custom SideBars are a great way to highlight any message inside an article--the place where your readers are already looking. For example, you could add some additional information related to the article, promote a product that has a tie-in to the article, announce an event, or even use it to post your readers' comments about the article. A little creativity here can go a very long way.

How it works:

To create a customized sidebar, select Components->iJoomla Sidebars from the drop-down menu.

Click New on the Sidebars Manager, and enter the sidebar name. You can also enter a heading to show on the sidebar if you wish.
Custom SideBar Examples:

This is an example of custom sidebar. You can enter anything here. Like images:

Or media or anything else.
Choose a style and select custom as the "type" of sidebar.
Enter the content of your choice into the HTML editor, including text, links and images.
Save.
The sidebar's tag will now be displayed on the Sidebar Manager. Copy and paste it into any article you'd like to display the custom sidebar on.
