//]]>
</script>

Now search for below code whichever  you have from both of them,


<div class='column-right-inner'> or <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>

after finding the above line, below one of them paste the following code


<div class='tabview'>
<b:section class='tabviewtab' id='Tab1' maxwidgets='1'/>
<b:section class='tabviewtab' id='Tab2' maxwidgets='1'/>
<b:section class='tabviewtab' id='Tab3' maxwidgets='1'/>
</div>
