Trying to add new sideboxes

I've read through this forum and can't find exactly what I need. Here is my shop:

http://www.scoutsswag.com

I would like to add a few different sideboxes like:

About
Add My Button (with a link to this page - http://www.scoutj.com/html_help/index.html)
Other Indie Shops

I've tried doing it through EZ pages but that doesn't seem to work.

Any help would really be appreciated as I keep putting this off and I finally am going to bite the bullet and go back in and mess with this.

Thanks!
Scout

Re: Trying to add new sideboxes

I think that's exactly what I need. Have you done this? So I make a new sidebox for each thing I want. Then I'm just not sure exactly where to upload it to. I'll mess around with it later when my kids aren't driving me nuts!

Thanks!

Re: Trying to add new sideboxes

Well, I thought I did all of the things in the Read Me File but it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if you change each one of the files to what you want it to be or keep them all saying blank.

for example - should I change the blank_sidebox.php to about_sidebox.php

Argh.

Re: Trying to add new sideboxes

I'm getting stuck with code issues. If anyone sees what is wrong with this code I'd appreciate it! It's saying that the line under click to add these buttons has an error

<div> <!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE --> <table align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="http://www.scoutj.com/about.html">About Scout</a> </td> <tr> <tr> <td align="center"> Click To Add These Buttons<br> <a href="http://www.scoutj.com/html_help/index.html"><img alt="Scout's Hand Painted Swag" height=56 width=117 img src=" http://www.scoutsswag.com/scouts_swag.jpg" border="0"></a> <br> <a href="http://www.scoutj.com/html_help/index.html"><img alt="Scout's Knitted Swag" height="51" width="119" img src="http://www.scoutj.com/images/scout_button.jpg " border="0"></a> </td> <tr> </table> <!-- EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE --> </div> End_Of_Quote; ?>

Re: Trying to add new sideboxes

Line 50 is the last thing on there and I have no clue what it wrong with that part.

<!-- EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE --> </div> End_Of_Quote; ?>

That last line?

Re: Trying to add new sideboxes

There was a problem with the final pieces of code. Somehow it got changed from the original code. Once I put that back in it worked. And yeah, the apostrophes were messing it up too.

I didn't really do much!
