How do I add a widget?
-
I can’t find the appearance section or widget section to add a widget to my blog. It is not in the sidebar.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Pleas use the step by step learn WordPress.com blogging tutorial Staff have linked to the bottom of your Admin page at http://learn.wordpress.com
All widgets provided by WordPress.com are described here (click through for details on individual widgets) > http://en.support.wordpress.com/category/widgets-sidebars/
Note that no iframe codes, JavaScript, blogger initiated advertizing codes or affiliate codes can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

Every theme has a default sidebar display of what appears to contain widgets but does not. When you select widgets of your own choice here > Appearance > Widgets, click each one to open it, configure where required, click “save” and click “close” inside the widgets you will over-ride the default sidebar display.

Are you logged in under the exact same username that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog? If not then you will not be able to access that setting.
