  I am trying to set up my widgets but I’m not able to see the settings once I drag it over to the sidebar. It looks as though I should be able to click on it and see a drop down menu. Maybe? Not sure what i’m doing wrong?

  For example, I would like to link my twitter posts to my blog. I dragged the twitter widget to the sidebar. I have not inputted any kind of information to settings because I can’t seem to get to the settings.

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Hi. If I understand correctly, you went to Appearance > Widgets and dragged and dropped a widget into your sidebar, but are unable to customize the widget itself.

  Go back to Apperance > Widgets and look for the widgets on your sidebar. You should see a little triangle pointing down. What happens when you click on it?

  If you click and nothing happens, try one of the tips here:

  Hey there! I followed the link and figured out the problem. I was using Internet Explorer and it was having some compaditbility issues. It’s all good using firefox! So, for some reason the little drop down triangle on the widget wasn’t dropping.

  Thanks so much for the help. Most appreciated!
