  I have published my first post and do not see the side bar when I check the post. I am using the Twenty 10 theme.

  Also, I do not see an About Me although I have written it.

  Finally, I have also listed ‘blogs that I follow’ using all the prompts, but do not see them either (no side bar).

  Please help. The frustration level is growing…… Thanks. Lisa

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

  I see your blogroll, about me and your sidebar at the link below, i’m sure an expert will have a cure for it.

  @ladolcevilla

  I have published my first post and do not see the side bar when I check the post. I am using the Twenty 10 theme.

  Choosing a Page Template
  One and two-column templates
  By default, Twenty Ten uses a two-column layout with lots of room for widgets. If you’d like to hide the widgets and focus on the writing for a particular page, just choose the “One column, no sidebar” template. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyten/

  Edit the post and choose “default template” in the far right hand column in the Template module.

  The “About Me” you posted here > Users > Personal Profile does not display on a static page. You have to create a static page and copy and paste that information onto it and publish it. Then a tab to your About page it will appear in your horizontal menu.

  I do see your Blogroll and a sidebar on your front page. See what I said about templates above and if you still cannot see a sidebar on your front page then clear your browser cache and cookies please. If your browser version is not up to date you can upgrade any browser version here.

  @TT: That’s for pages, not posts.

  @ladolcevilla: I’m seeing your sidebar (complete with your About Me and Blogroll widgets) both here:
  http://ladolcevilla.wordpress.com/
  and here:
  http://ladolcevilla.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/la-dolce-villa/
  Perhaps you’re looking at a cached version of your post. Try clearing your browser’s cache.
  Or are you talking about a different blog?
