Hi, a couple of thoughts. I’m trying (very slooooowly), to create a sidebar component, I want it to be detached from .wrap floating to the left. I still have a lot to learn, been downloading components to see how things work. So, the developer in me wonders why code added to body displays under t…

Just a few points about Bars I shared: you can have a left Sidebar it comes with html capability out of the box (you can have several html widgets) you can show additional Components on the sidebar which you can either copy from elsewhere, make or co-opt I’m not sure you’d want it to “float” as t…

@Lilly Yes I am using plugin outlets [The image displays a screenshot of a website interface, with a focus on a search-related feature. (Captioned by AI)] Thank you, Lee

@Lilly , @awesomerobot , does this mean I’d need to create a new plugin-outlet position, or isn’t this possible? thank you, Lee
