If you then look at the design editor pop-up wotsit where you have the list of your news items, you should now see "Side Bar news 1" as one of the display methods. Just select this for each of the news items and save the changes. Closing the pop-up and switching back to normal display mode will again refresh the display and your news items should be displayed using this file. > > Where would I put it to have it come up in the admin - or to be able to > access it from the container tag call? > The display methods for each type are picked up directly from the type's folder in the webskin folder. If you add a new file for a display type, then this will appear in the design-mode selector wotsit on the front or in the back-end admin for that type as soon as you save that file. > Other container items have "_bottom" etc. on them...

If I remember the example you're talking about its actually prefixed with the objectid, so that the container is unique to that one html object and _bottom just denotes that its the "bottom" container on the page. Category or Keyword Management is where Blair said that you can find it. (Apart from the typo of container rather than category) Select content from the tabs at the top. Change the drop down to "Content Utilities". You should then see a "Category Management" heading on the left with "Manage Keywords" listed under it. This is where you can add/organise your categories/keywords. Be warned - its a tad flakey under IE and Firefox.
