  If you’re talking about the blog linked to your username, you go to Appearance > Theme Options and select a sidebar layout.

  That theme is highly customizable. The sidebar won’t show up if you don’t have any widgets in it, though.

  You’ve replaced the Twenty Eleven CSS with a set of CSS entirely your own, and so any changes you make will depend on the CSS you’ve already added.

  To move the footers up in your current layout, you can widen the page and then float one area right and the other area left. Here is an example starting point:

  #page {
  width: 1125px;
  }
  
  #primary {
  width: 960px;
  float: left;
  }
  
  #secondary {
  padding-top: 45px;
  width: 160px;
  float: right;
  }
