Honestly, I don't know anything about Joomla besides it being a CMS or Content Management Systems.
But with the power of Google, here's a site that offers tutorials on how to use Joompla: http://www.joomlatutorials.com/

How long has joomla been around? Is it older that wordpress? It is heartening to see web hosting providers vie with each other to provide these themes to the customers..

In June 2002 Mullenweg started using the b2/cafelog blogging software to complement the photos he was taking on a trip to Washington D.C. after participating in the National Fed Challenge competition. He contributed some minor code regarding typographic entities and cleaner permalinks.

Several months after development of b2 had stopped, in January 2003, he announced[3] on his blog his plan of forking the software to bring it up to date with web standards and his needs. He was quickly contacted by Mike Little and together they started WordPress from the b2 codebase. They were soon joined by original b2 developer Michel Valdrighi. Mullenweg was only nineteen years old, and a freshman at the University of Houston at the time.[4]

In March 2003 he co-founded the Global Multimedia Protocols Group with Eric Meyer and Tantek Çelik. GMPG wrote the first of the Microformats[citation needed].

In April 2004 with fellow WordPress developer Dougal Campbell, they launched Ping-O-Matic[5] which is a hub for notifying blog search engines such as Technorati of blog updates. Ping-O-Matic currently handles over 1 million pings a day.[citation needed]

In May 2004 chief WordPress competitor Movable Type announced a radical price change[6] which drove thousands of users to seek alternate solutions. This is widely regarded as the tipping point for WordPress.

In October 2004, he was recruited by CNET[7] to work on WordPress for them and help them with blogs and new media offerings. He dropped out of college and moved to San Francisco from Houston, TX the following month.

In December 2004, Mullenweg announced bbPress[8] which he wrote from scratch in a few days over the holidays.

Mullenweg and the WordPress team released WordPress 1.5 "Strayhorn"[9] in February 2005, which had over 900,000 downloads. The release introduced their theme system, moderation features, and a new front end and back end redesign.

LOL. The article came from Wikipedia.
He even states that the information he posted came from Wiki.

I think it looks like you only need to register the sidebar if you want to have it device ready. If you code all the functions you want added to the properly sidebar and don't need device added then it is not necessary.
