Hi Guys
I'm building a one page WP site, as explained in the workshop by Zac. I understand the loop structure, but I need a way to add widget areas only to certain "sections".
Any idea how I can go about it?
Thanks!

Just to be clear, you want to display your custom registered widgets in certain areas within your page, but you don't have any sidebars registered, Is that right?
If so, the_widget(); (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget) is what you looking for.

Mine is to do with the sidebar - I have created the functions within funtcions.php and they show in the admin area as available widget areas but the if statements are failing but they are exactly to how Zac has shown in the video.
