Adding Widget Areas Between Header & Content and Footer & Content |

Hi everyone, I though it would share this with you as it took me short of a few months to find the solution of which I got from this post:
http://www.artisteer.com/Default.aspx?post_id=217079&p=forum_post
Bear in mind my template uses a header, footer and 2 column layout at 1000px wide, modify step 1 to the width of your page.
You can download the template files from
http://input-it.co.uk/top-and-bottom-widget-areas.zip
INSTRUCTIONS :
1) In your artisteer theme go to EXPORT->OPTIONS-CSS OPTIONS and add the following code:
.wide-slider {
position: relative;
display: block;
width: 1000px;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
2) Upload your artisteer theme (make sure you have a backup)
3) Unzip and upload the files and folders to the root of your theme, overwriting any existing theme files
That's it! you can go into your widgets area and find the new bottom and top slider widget areas (although you don't have to put sliders into them)

Good job Chris 
I've been using that way of adding extra widget areas ever since I saw Abland's original tutorial. I've even modified my artisteer (4.1) core files to include 4 extra widgets, (3 in the header and the wide slider) using that method. Don't always need them, but they are there if I do.
