I have a webpage going, and I'd like to ask how to add a sidebar. I did not
see it in any of your html tutorials, and you have one on your page. What is
the html tag, and where do I put it? I have searched other websites, and
none have worked. How did you get your sidebar?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I would be much obliged if you could
help.
Thanks.

There are several ways to add content that is beside the main content. The
most popular ones (aside from ugly tables) are floats and positioning. I use
a positioning version, and this is usually the easiest to understand.
The HTML tags are not important (since HTML cannot do this stuff on its
own), but most people use <div> tags. These are then styled with CSS to
produce the sidebar. I have a demonstration of this on:
