  I am new to the whole WordPress thing, and today I started playing with Widgets. I am using the PressRow theme and added the “Archives” Widget.

  I then discovered that the Search, Subscribe to my blog via RSS, and Blogroll Widgets had all disappeared. I was able to go in and add back in the Search and Blogroll Widgets, but I can’t find listed anywhere the Widget to add the Subscribe to my blog via RSS Widget.

  Please help!

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

  Once you add a widget to the sidebar, all the “default” widgets of a theme are removed. You can either remove the Archives widget, which should then make your sidebar revert to the default set, or you can add your rss feed in a text widget following the instructions here:
