   I'm trying to add another widget area to the header. This one I want to go into the "access" area

   I was successful in adding the first one with this bit of code

   // This will create your widget area
   function my_widgets_init() {
   register_sidebar(array(
   'name' => 'Header Aside',
   'id' => 'header-aside',
   'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
   'after_widget' => "",
   'before_title' => "<h3 class=\"widgettitle\">",
   'after_title' => "</h3>\n",
   ));

   }
   add_action( 'init', 'my_widgets_init' );

   // adding the widget area to your child theme
   function my_header_widgets() {
   if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_sidebar_active('header-aside') ) {
   echo '<div id="header-aside" class="aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
   dynamic_sidebar('header-aside');
   echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #header-aside .aside -->'. "\n";
   }
   }
   add_action('thematic_header', 'my_header_widgets', 8);

   I am now trying to add a second one. I have gotten to the point where I can add widgets to the area in the admin area but no dice on the actual site.

   here is the code I am using:

   // This will create your widget area
   function my_stuff_init() {
   register_sidebar(array(
   'name' => 'Header Aside2',
   'id' => 'header-aside2',
   'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
   'after_widget' => "",
   'before_title' => "<h3 class=\"widgettitle\">",
   'after_title' => "</h3>\n",
   ));

   }
   add_action( 'init', 'my_stuff_init' );

   // adding the widget area to your child theme
   function my_access_widgets() {
   if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_sidebar_active('header-aside2') ) {
   echo '<div id="header-aside2" class="aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
   dynamic_sidebar('header-aside2');
   echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #header-aside2 .aside -->'. "\n";
   }
   }
   add_action('thematic_access', 'my_access_widgets', 9);

   Here is the address to the site http://64.79.143.234/clinicient/wordpress/

   Thanks in advance for any help!

   I figured it out and here it is for anyone interested:

   the last line of my code needed to be "add_action('thematic_header', 'my_access_widgets', 9);"

   $posttitle = '';

   } elseif (is_single()) {

   $posttitle = '<h1 class="entry-title">' . get_the_title() . "</h1>\n";

   //continue with original function

   } else {

   $posttitle = '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="';

   $posttitle .= get_permalink();

   $posttitle .= '" title="';

   $posttitle .= __('Permalink to ', 'thematic') . the_title_attribute('echo=0');

   $posttitle .= '" rel="bookmark">';

   $posttitle .= get_the_title();

   $posttitle .= "</h2>\n";

   }

   return $posttitle;

   }

   you don't have a ; at the end of your last line.

   syntax error means that you are missing a ; or a } or a ) or something

   also please put all your code blocks between 2 backtick marks `
   on a US keyboard it is next to the 1 on the tilde ~ key
