I only want to use the Left Sidebar for 1 or 2 pages, it would be painful to continually enter in page IDs into the Theme Options page to not show this sidebar.

Is there anything that can be done to work in reverse? IE, only show on specific page, without showing the blank space on all the other pages?

I think that Woman was asking the same thing http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=1945 and Flynn suggested a plugin called widget logic which if i understand correctly tells other widgets when and when not to appear...On second thoughts i suppose you would still have the sidebar even if there was no content.......

Widget Logic works wonders - however if there is no widgets on the screen it still creates a blank space for the sidebar, something I was hoping to get away from.

If only a Sidebar Logic plugin
