You should be able to insert this code into your Page Type to create a new Area

<?php
$a = new Area('Sidebar');
$a->display($c);
?>

Thanks for the response! But, oops! I am a starter in C5! Where exactly do i have to paste it in? the Concrete>Page_Types map only shows 'blog_entry.php'
Or am I doing it wrong?

You will need to do this within your site's files by using FTP to access the files inside of the /themes folder, it can not be done through the Dashboard.

Depending on what theme you are using you should either be able to go into /themes/blog_entry.php or /packages/theme_name/themes/theme_name/blog_entry.php if you site only has the one Page Type you might need to add it in the default.php
