  I would like each of my blog post pages to show my sidebar.

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

  Use the Recent Posts widget and the Archive widget.

  To clarify:
  I’m using the Twenty Eleven theme which allows you to apply templates to each page (default, sidebar, or showcase).
  The individual posts that are published are posted as the default template. I would like to change this so that the sidebars are present on every post.

  Templates are for Pages not Posts. That’s not possible. There is no sidebar on single posts in Twenty Eleven.

  You’re welcome. (There are no themes here that apply templates to posts.)
