I just tried to add addtional template file to include a block of content in right side bar but get failed.

Below is my effort

added in local.xml file

<reference name="right">
   <block type="cms/template" name="right.side.template">
     <action method="setTemplate">

I also tried this

<block type="cms/template" template="callouts/right_template.phtml"/>

and created a template file callouts/right_template.phtml.

But it is not loading the template file content in right side bar.

How do I go about? I have cleared the magento cache.

I found it myself I was using wrong type type="cms/template". This should be type="core/template"

<block type="core/template" template="callouts/right_template.phtml"/>
