a nudge in the right direction may be all I need.

I have no idea how to add sidebars. That is a template thing and you can probably find a tutorial or mod that will show you the code to add to your template to do that.

When I try to add any HTML code underneath the ###Your Custom Code Goes Here### section I get this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/elantrax/public_html/forums/cotm.php on line 41

When I just add regular text underneath the ###Your Custom Code Goes Here### section it only displays the word "text" no matter what I have typed in.

Here's the URL. Everything else seems to be working fine.

You don't just add text in a php file. You need to assign it to a variable and then out put the variable in the template. Or, just put the text in the template.

Hope you can help

You do not put php in templates. You put the php in the php page and then assign the output to a variable and put the variable in the template. Don't forget to register the variable for use in the template first.
