    My blog is called yourworldstage.wordpress.com. I have been trying to add widgets to my side bar but the side bar is not appearing. The only way to access those widgets appears to be by clicking on the menu icon on the upper right of the screen. Can you help me to make the sidebar appear?

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

    That’s correct as it is the way the theme is designed to function. See here: https://wordpress.com/themes/eighties/

    No.

    Switch themes if you do not like the way this one is designed. Switching themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do a lot of work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme with different features and/or if you have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

    The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
