In the php snippets area of the handbook, there is a snippet to print a specific block within your template. You should be able to place that snippet, edited appropriately, into your footer, wrap it in CSS tags and position/style accordingly.

Look under "theme snippets." If it's not there, it will be in block snippets or page snippets. It's there somewhere -- I just saw it again last night.

Hi all. For my new portal site, I have a template with a footer where I
want to insert some block. I want to know if there is a possibility,
with drupal, to manage this new sidebar. In Administration section I
have see only sidebar-left and sidebar-right. Tnx in advance for all.
