Add widget area to blog page and single post pages only

[ncg]

Hi, I have the new wintersong theme running and would like to make a more robust menu on the blog page and single post pages only so that I can keep the clean and simple look throughout the rest of the site. We tried this: (Jonathan is my son who found this code somewhere....) However, it broke the site. The wiintersong theme already has a "Register widget areas" section, so I tried to simple add it there. But it broke the site again. Here's my site: http://www.nathanclarkgeorge.com

Thanks for you help!!

//* Jonathan added the following to in order to reposition the widgets

/** Register widget areas */

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => ‘header-1’,
'name' => __( ‘After Header’, 'mp' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the after header before content section.’, 'mp' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', ‘ws_header-1_genesis' );

/**
* Add CTA widget support for site. If widget not active, don't display
*
*/
function ws_header-1_genesis() {

// Don't display the CTA on the home page

if ( is_home() ) {
return;
}

// If it's the Blog page, display header-1
elseif ( is_page( ‘Blog’ ) ) {
genesis_widget_area( ‘header-1’, array(
'before' => '<div id=“header-1”><div class="wrap">',
'after' => '</div></div>',
) );

}

//* End of Jonathan’s additions

By the way, I'm hoping to place the widget area at the top of the page where I can add a search bar, a recent posts widget, and categories widget.

I'm thinking that because the way Wintersong utilizes the header and already has a custom afterheader widget area, I would have to use a "before content" type of function. I get css, but php is still a steep learning cure for me. Thanks!
