Getting a left sidebar

Hi,
I require left sidebars on my website to hold a table of contents.
I currently have it on the right below the ADS http://teachmehana.com/sap-hana-definition/
There are a lot of codes and posts on this but as a newbie, there is no step by step one where I know what to copy and where to apply it.
Would really appreciate some help on this.

Thank you for your time.

    Hi Shyam,

    According to your website, your sidebar is empty. Please navigate to WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets and add a couple of widgets to your sidebar. Then navigate to WP Admin > Appearance > Custom CSS and add the following CSS to ensure the sidebar is on the left rather than the right.

    #primary {	float: right !important;}

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for the quick response.
    I have a right sidebar enabled already and I can see it in my posts.
    You can check any post or page in my website and you will be able to see some ads on the right along with a short index.
    All I want is another sidebar on the left. The right one is fine.
    Also, I did not find the Custom CSS option under Appearance.

    Hi Shyam,

    Oh. That sidebar wasn’t visible previously for me. Please add the following CSS to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS:

    #primary {	float: right !important;}#secondary {	float: left !important;}

    Please note that you’ll need to remove the widths you’ve set for the table rows in the sidebar. If you don’t you’ll have overlap and responsive issues.

    But I have no “Custom CSS” option under Appearance. Please refer to my previous screenshot link.

    Hi Shyam,

    Oh. Sorry, my mistake. You’ll need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
