As I already said, there's no reason why you should try that instead of using a theme with two sidebars.

I'd really like to give this a try.

@TT: Since you don't know CSS, it would be a good idea if you refrained from telling others what can or cannot be done with it. As long as a theme does display widgets, you can change where those widgets show up (because the positioning of an element is a matter of appearance, not function, so it is a CSS issue, not a PHP issue).

The CSS upgrade cannot be used to add a sidebar to pages which do not have one already. That would require hacking of the underling PHP script files, which we cannot do on free hosted WordPress.com blog .

Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. read more here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

I'm using the Fresh & Clean theme and was wondering, with custom CSS, is it possible to have two columns in this theme?

Thanks!
