Every blogger template has at least four distinct parts (sections or divisions). Highly customized theme can have much more sections depending on the complexity of the theme. These four parts are: header, post area (content), sidebar and footer.
<div id='outer-wrapper'>
<div id='header-wrapper'>
<p>Header Section</p>
</div>
<div id='content-wrapper'>
<div id='main-wrapper'>
<p>Posts Section</p>
</div>
<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
<p>Side Bar Section</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id='footer-wrapper'>
<p>Footer Section</p>
</div>
<div>
</body>
Whole content is wrapped in a section with id 'outer-wrapper'. It is parent of all the sections (containers) in the template. Header section is identified by the division having id 'header-wrapper'. Next comes the section 'content-wrapper', which comprises of main post area (main-wrapper) and one or more sidebars (sidebar-wrapper,sidebar-wrapper-two,...). And last but not the least is the footer section identified by division having id 'footer-wrapper'.
If your template has one sidebar and you want to add one more, you can name that as 'sidebar-wrapper-two' and so on.
