By following the prompts at feedburner for installing a feed
-
this happened. I highlighted the html of the widget and copied it, then opened up my wordpress template by clicking on Presentation and then widgets. The directions said to drag the text widget to my sidebar, click on the upper rt. corner, copy the html, click on th close button and then save my changes. Then I viewed my blog and yes the widget for subscribing to a feed was there but all the other widgets that had been in the original template were gone. So went back to the presentation then widget and dragged several of the widgets up to add to my template sidebar. However, when I saved these changes there were two results. One, the widgets appeared but they were not active (that is they had names but no actions) and two, there appeared to be only so much length to the side bar now because it cut off the widgets I could now see about half way down the page and right in the middle of one. Any one got a suggestion as to what this means and as to how I can find out how to activate these additional widgets? I’d appreciate the info.

I have no idea what the issue is here, especially considering i don’t see these widgets on your blog.
1) Please state in one sentance what specificly the problem is that you are having and what specifically you’re trying to do.
2) Please copy and paste the code that you’re trying to use from feedburner. please remember to place the code within backticks. That’s the key above the tab key and to the left on the pc keyboard.

Sorry, since this wasn’t working I removed the widgets and went back to the original configuration on the template. The problem was two fold, one, the original widget I copied looked the way it was supposed to but I was concerned that I had put it into the text box as per the instruction but that I really should have put it into the rss feed box instead. I couldn’t see a way to check if it was working. To complicate matters, when I placed the widget, the original template’s widget were removed so that brought me to my second question. How do I get them back so that they are working correctly because they weren’t with the feed widget from feedburner in place.

Well, when you use the widgets, they replace what’s currently in the sidebar. They don’t add to it. Else if you use the category widget with a theme that already uses the category listing, you wind up with two category listings.
Now, I gather you’re putting ‘code’ in from feedburner. You need to explain what ‘code’ you’re trying to put in or please do what I suggest above and copy and paste it with the backticks as mentioned above. We can’t help you unless we know what you’re doing.
Either that or put the widgets back so we can see what is occuring.

I put the code with back ticks above. But as I tried to explain before I understand the new widget replaces the old but what happened to my presentation did not make sense. With the feedburner widget on the template and operational, I had lost the other elements in my side bar. So I went back to the presentation/widget page and selected several and dragged them in to place. But when I went back to the blog, these new widgets had been placed in such a way that the third one down was cut in half.

currently the third one down is your archives widget, which is set to a drop-down box. Are you still having a problem, because everything looks fine to me?
