   Hi! How I can merge leader asides in thematic power blog? I mean those widgets area which are placed under the menu. I would like to merge second and third one (there will be a slideshow based on nextgen gallery) and in the first one I would like to put some text. Thank you!

   Hi,

   needs some work on the code:

   1.) Remove:

   register_sidebar(array(
          	'name' => '3rd leader Aside',
          	'id' => '3rd-leader-aside',
          	'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer %2$s">',
          	'after_widget' => "</li>",
   		'before_title' => "<h3 class=\"widgettitle\">",
   		'after_title' => "</h3>\n",
       ));

   .. from childtheme_widgets_init().

   2.) Change childtheme_leaderasides() to:

   function childtheme_leaderasides() { ?>
   
       <?php if ( is_sidebar_active('1st-leader-aside') || is_sidebar_active('2nd-leader-aside') ) { // one of the leader asides has a widget ?>
       <div id="leader">
           <div id="leader-container">
   
               <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_sidebar_active('1st-leader-aside') ) { // there are active widgets for this aside
                   echo '<div id="first-leader" class="aside sub-aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
                   dynamic_sidebar('1st-leader-aside');
                   echo '</ul>' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #first-leader .aside -->'. "\n";
               } ?>                
   
               <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_sidebar_active('2nd-leader-aside') ) { // there are active widgets for this aside
                   echo '<div id="second-leader" class="aside sub-aside">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
                   dynamic_sidebar('2nd-leader-aside');
                   echo '</ul>' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #second-leader .aside -->'. "\n";
               } ?>       
   
           </div><!-- #leader-container -->
       </div><!-- #leader -->
       <?php } ?>
   
   <?php }
   add_action('thematic_belowheader','childtheme_leaderasides',6);

   3. Add:

   #leader #second-leader.aside {
   width:632px;
   }

   to your style.css .. et voilà :)
