I removed the sidebar first from admin/blocks but when I put it back it no longer appears in Content/Section/Regions. How do I get it back?

My guess, repeat guess, is
My guess, repeat guess, is that you need something for it to display. If this is the case then you can try checking "Force this region to be rendered" in the theme's
Settings/Zone and region configuration/CONTENT ZONE/REGIONS/SIDEBAR FIRST
area but this is not enough, IMHO. The browser needs work to do. I have had to create a spacer image, a 1-pixel transparent GIF, probably the web's most served image :) I put this in a block that is rendered into sidebar first according to the page. This is acceptable to me because I know that when the site is live there will always be stuff to show, and I then can get rid of spacer.gif because it messes up my style.
Anyone know a better way?
It's a new install so I will
It's a new install and it won't hurt me to just start over. I do not have a sidebar first "it no longer appears in Content/Section/Regions."
I am still in the classroom btw. Learning as I go.
Thanks though
The Omega manual is worth
The Omega manual is worth reading http://drupal.org/node/819164.
The Delta section may help you to understand what is going on. Basically all the regions are defined in the theme.info file. I have no idea how you can get them back into the GUI unless you revert the theme - look at the bottom of the theme settings form (it may be an Omega tools feature).
The Omega tools module also has an export feature for theme settings, this will also generate the theme.info file with the regions.
I'd expect unused regions/ zones to end up in the 'UNASSIGNED ZONES' at the bottom of the form.
Brilliant! That actually
Brilliant! That actually restored the region (sidebar first) . I did the Export Theme Settings but unchecked the overwrite box not to mess with my custom settings hopefully restoring just that region. Like you said it was in the unassigned zone. Once I assigned it back to the Content Zone, it automatically showed up in Content Section / Region.
It's a bit confusing though. Who would have thought that export was actually importing? My only clue was that overwrite box.
Ok maybe I am completely confused. I stand corrected but it did work.
Thanks
