I've learned, with a little bit of effort, you can do some pretty cool things with Artisteer and some manual code tweaks, such as:
More than two sidebars
Sidebars in other locations other than right or left of the content area
Combinations of vertical and horizontal sidebars.

This is just one of a bunch of combinations I can up with just fooling around with the code.

Marc,
That is pretty cool, I think it would be useful to use widget sidebar items in other areas of the site.
Good show olde boy!

How did you do this?! I am very CSS/XHTML knowledgable, but not php. I need desperate help with creating a theme with four, yes four, navigational devices- which brought me to Artisteer. Two need to be using thumbnails. Not even premium themes can help! If you can-

It would have been nice if you would've mentioned how you did all this stuff. I’ve been trying to understand how wordpress works for about two weeks now which lead me to this site. A little hint would be nice to the new people.
Artistreer manual is pretty good but does not get into any customization.
Thank you

I sent a message to Marc asking how he did it, and he responded with a sales pitch to create a theme with a minimum $100 payment, LOL.
Here's what I'll do in response to that. I'll figure it out (shouldn't be hard. I've done it before with other themes), then put together a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it, and place it on this thread.

Update. Here's preliminary step by step report on creating a third (or more) sidebar on Artisteer themes.
(I'll return to this thread with more detailed step by step instructions for such things as having three new sidebars (side by side) in footer and header areas. )
Adding other sidebars to Artisteer themes:
-- in functions.php, find register_sidebars (2) and change it to the number of sidebars you want
-- create a sidebar3.php file. For formatted results, a quick and dirty way to do it is just copy the contents of sidebar1.php, then rename <div class="sidebar1"> to <div class="sidebar3">. Upload it to your theme folder.
-- Option A For quick and dirty, go to style.css, find sidebar1 div, copy, paste it into a notepad, rename to div sidebar3 (or whatever you want to call it), then paste it back into style.css
-- OPTION B For adding a simple unformatted sidebar
Another way to do it is just to create sidebar3.php file, paste this code into it:
<div>
<ul>
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(3) ) : else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
then upload sidebar3.php to theme folder.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention:
Place <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar3.php'); ?> (or whatever you called it) wherever you want to place it.
Wit div:
<div class="sidebar3">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar3.php'); ?>
</div>
