    Hi. I’m new here and can’t seem to figure out a few things. Any help is much apprieciated. Thanks.
    How do I create a widget that is a list of links to other web pages?
    I would also like to have a different widget with a different quote per page, can I do this?
    Is it possible to change the background per page? My theme is paper punch.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    No, not exactly a different quote on each page, but here is some info about widgets you can insert into a text widget on your sidebar:

    You can change the background within each post or page using simple html div tags. I do it all the time. But it won’t change the background of the theme for each page—it might be possible, but not really, and not a normal way that wp.com works.
    example: 

    <div style="border: 2px solid #HEX_NUMBER_FOR_BORDER_AROUND_POST_OR_PAGE; background-color: #HEX_NUMBER_FOR_BACKGROUND_COLOR; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 15px; color: #HEX_NUMBER_FOR_FONT_COLOR;">
ALL_OF_YOUR_POST_OR_PAGE_HERE
</div>

    I kind of have the same question, so I’m not going to post a new tread.

    But my question is “Can you have different widgets on each page?” (ex: page 1 has a menu, page 2 has twitter feed, etc.) I would like to know if this is possible.

    I don’t know if that’s what you were asking, but it seemed the same.

    Oh, my answer may not have been clear! I was trying to think of what would work, and offer ideas about that.
    To be clear:
    There are no themes on wp.com which allow different widgets on each page.
