custom field for sidebar image

I am new to child themes and am trying diligently to understand the framework.

I need to display a custom field image absolutely so it displays in the "sidebar".

I have been able to target all images in the .content-entry with css and place them correctly in the "sidebar". But that is not a solution.

I have also read http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/introducing-custom-fields-into-thematic and have a better understanding of how the functions file plays into this.

As of yet I have been unsuccessful with this task.

This is what I have:

In the functions file:
```
function sidebar_image($sidebar_image) {
	$sidebar_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sidebar_image', true);
	return $sidebar_image;
}
add_filter('thematic_sidebar_image', 'sidebar_image');
```
In the css:
```
#sbimg{
	position: absolute;
	left: 40px;
	top: 0px;
}
```
In the sidebar_image Custom Field:

<img id="sbimg" src="path to image" />

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Seth
