Widgets only on homepage

[ScottReinmuth]

I am trying to put some widgets on the homepage but something is not working. This is the code that I have.

 

<code>

// Custom Home Template
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Slider Widget' ),
'id' => 'slider-widget',
'class' => '',
'description' => __( 'optional widget area for a slider' ),
'before_title' => '<div>',
'after_title' => '</div>',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
));
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Left Home Widget' ),
'id' => 'left-home-widget',
'class' => '',
'description' => __( 'Left side widget for home page' ),
'before_title' => '<div class="home-widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</div>',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
));
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Center Home Widget' ),
'id' => 'center-home-widget',
'class' => '',
'description' => __( 'Middle widget for home page' ),
'before_title' => '<div class="home-widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</div>',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
));
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Right Home Widget' ),
'id' => 'right-home-widget',
'class' => '',
'description' => __( 'Right side widget for home page' ),
'before_title' => '<div class="home-widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</div>',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
));
function home_template(){ ?>
<div id="home-widget-area" class="clearfix">
<div id="home-slider">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Slider Widget' ); ?>
</div>

<div class="one-third first">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Left Home Widget' ); ?>
</div>

<div class="one-third">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Center Home Widget' ); ?>
</div>

<div class="one-third">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Right Home Widget' ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

<?php
if(is_front_page()){
add_action('genesis_after_header', 'home_template');
}

I am not going to get into your code, but....

1) Register widgets in functions.php file. Follow the examples in the file.
2) Add widget areas to home.php or template. See home.php for example.
3) Add new div's to stylesheet for design.
