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 the footer? That’s a bit of a culture shock since for the last 20+ years, code added to body would display above the footer, and if floated or displayed, it would sit to the left.

How would I add a detached sidebar?

Thank you, Lee
