If you used the body_class and post_class template tags, you get a CSS class added that contains classes for all the tags and terms a post has which you can use to conditionally style posts without needing to conditionally enqueue stylesheets
{type}_template is a filter inside the get_query_template function. That function is called by a series of functions called get_home_template, get_category_template and so on. It allows you to very specifically target templates. You can see it in action in template-loader.php, where the $tag_templates variable is defined, binding conditions like is_home, is_category and so on to the … Read more

I think what you might need is simply to run register_sidebar() in an ‘widgets_init’ hook. The TwentyTen theme has examples for register_sidebar() in its functions.php file, but here’s what it might look like: add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘twentyten_widgets_init’ ); function twentyten_widgets_init() { register_sidebar( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘News Sidebar’, ‘yoursite’ ), ‘id’ => ‘sidebar-news’, ‘description’ => __( … Read more
