As Blair said, if you look in the webskin folders you'll see a dmNews folder.

You need to save this in the dmNews folder.

If you then look at the design editor pop-up wotsit where you have the
list of your news items, you should now see "Side Bar news 1" as one
of the display methods. Just select this for each of the news items
and save the changes. Closing the pop-up and switching back to normal
display mode will again refresh the display and your news items should
be displayed using this file.

The display methods for each type are picked up directly from the
type's folder in the webskin folder. If you add a new file for a
display type, then this will appear in the design-mode selector wotsit
on the front or in the back-end admin for that type as soon as you
save that file.

well the _bottom is just a naming convention really.  If I remember
the example you're talking about its actually prefixed with the
objectid, so that the container is unique to that one html object and
_bottom just denotes that its the "bottom" container on the page.

Category or Keyword Management is where Blair said that you can find
it. (Apart from the typo of container rather than category)
Select content from the tabs at the top.
Change the drop down to "Content Utilities".
You should then see a "Category Management" heading on the left with
"Manage Keywords" listed under it.  This is where you can add/organise
your categories/keywords.  Be warned - its a tad flakey under IE and
Firefox.

Hope that helps

Stephen
