  Hi. I’m not entirely sure where to go to customize my sidebars. I want to add things like buttons for directories and other words I want to appear on the front page… how do I edit my sidebars?

  The sorts of things you want to do will use text widgets, which you can find (and create more if you need them) at Presentation>widgets. Just build your sidebar there as you’d like it. It’s a simple drag and drop operation.

  I have those moments too, believe me. Glad it’s sorted out for you. Happy blogging.

  When I slide a text box into my sidebar it doesn’t show up. Therefore I can’t edit it. Any thoughts?

  You edit it in presentation > widgets. Click on the little icon on the right end of the text widget and a box will pop up.

  It will not show up until you put something in it.
