You can copy all the code from one of your sidebar create a new file, name it sidebar3, paste copied code in it. Now what need to be done is to call sidebar3 and align it properly. You can call it as following <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar3.php'); ?> and align it adding some new classed in your style sheet

Just copy and paste will not work you also need to learn some HTML and css in order to do it.

Since no one else has stepped up to the plate to explain how to do it, here's my hot off the press tutorial.

Did not succeed in completing Bud's tutorial. Everything lined up smoothly until I added a plain text widget to the third sidebar and then the layout broke apart.. The third sidebar ( 354px) expanded to the total width of the sheet (900px) and pushed the other sidebars down and to the left side of the the expanded bar. The Article container dissapeared in the blue.

You want to make sure that the new sidebar code is NOT within the same div as the "content" DIV. That will definitely break the theme.

Also remember that there are a number of versions of Artisteer and the CSS is slightly different from old to new versions so take that into account when adding to the theme.

If you can't get it to work at all then contact me through my website.
