How to Create a New Widget Area

So here is the code to initialize the widget for use in the admin area of your site.  More info as to what things should be set to can be found on the register_sidebar codex page.

function new_register_widget_init() {
	$args = array(
		'name'          => __( 'Sidebar name', 'theme_text_domain' ),
		'id'            => 'unique-sidebar-id',
		'description'   => '',
        	'class'         => '',
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget'  => '</li>',
		'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
		'after_title'   => '</h2>',
		 ); 
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'new_register_widget_init');

And then where you want the new widget to appear you can use the following code:

dynamic_sidebar( 'unique-sidebar-id' );
