You can call registered sidebars with the dynamic_sidebar() function. Just put the ID of the sidebar in to the call. In the case below the id would be homepage-sidebar. <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘homepage-sidebar’) ) : ?><?php endif; ?>
This is default behavior. I believe that sidebars are listed by ID in Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets, and that the sidebar with ID 0 is always open in the default view.
