  Hi there,

  Can you check the Inactive Widgets area at the bottom of Appearance -> Widgets in your blog’s Dashboard? If the widgets aren’t there, please let me know.

  I too am finding several bugs on the WordPress site. When it works, it is beautiful. When it doesn’t, like right now, widgets won’t move, tags won’t post, titles disappear. Wazzup folks? I’ve found the best way to deal with this frustration is to log on again later. Sometimes things start magically working again even though I haven’t done anything different. Grrrr

  @rhodasommer your widgets are trying to fall to the bottom of the blog. With the infinite scroll it is hard to see that is what is happening, but it is.

  This troubleshooting guide for that issue often helps in that circumstance.

  rhodasommer,

  You had a few errant div tags in your widgets – I took care of them for you, and your widgets are displaying correctly now.
