With the need for more complex templates and different sidebars, the new Wordpress plugin Sidebars makes it easy for any template to have customizable sidebars. This plugin allows you to add new sidebars, manage where they will show, and display them. Allows for a default sidebar, sidebars on certain pages / posts, on certain categories or with certain page parents.
For more information, view the official Wordpress directory page: Sidebars

Thanks for making this.
I was wondering if you can make some widget sidebars, and some non-widget sidebars. From reading the instructions it sounds like this is only for widget enabled sidebars, right?

Yes. All sidebars created are widget-sidebars. The theory behind this decision was that if someone was to want say just a sidebar, they could use the text widgets to do so.

I thought this plugin sounded cool…
But for me, it throws errors on a foreach() call. I am running WP 2.5.1
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/plugins/sidebars/sidebars.php on line 218
I noticed some weird stuff on the dashboard feed page ‘Other Wordpress News’ as well. Those grey squares were about 5-6 times the height….
