How to add widgets?

    Hi guys!

    I’m a new user of WordPress. I have just moved all my entries from yahoo 360 to WordPress because Yahoo 360 will be closed in next 2 months. However, after importing entries to WordPress, all of my widgets move from the right hand side to the end of the page. I have tried to re-arrange them by going to dashboard/appearance/widgets, but I do not succeed. I would highly appreciate if someone can help me to solve the problem.

    Thank you very much!

    Is this the blog you are talking about http://litdra.wordpress.com/ ?

    If so, the import from Yahoo 360 apparently brought with it a huge amount of errors (1908) according to the W3C validator, and I’m afraid that the fix is going to be a little time consuming for you.

    First off, in your dashboard go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “save changes.”

    Now you are going to have to edit each post, make one minor change such as adding a space somewhere and then deleting it, and then click “update post.” This process should correct most of the issues and it will be less work than trying to sort through all the errors and correct them by hand. When you get to posts with images, you are going to have to make the images smaller so that they will fit width-wise on your blog. If images are too wide for the post area, it will cause the sidebar to move to the bottom of the page. The maximum image width in Freshy is 454px. To resize them exactly to 454px wide, click on the image in the post editor and then click on the image edit icon that appears at the upper left corner of the image. In the window that opens, click on the tab at the top that says, “advanced options” and then under “size, put 454 into the width field, and delete the number in the height field (so it will size the image proportionally). Then click the “update” button.

    I would also suggest that you go to settings > reading and reduce the number of posts showing on your blog main page to something like 5 or 10. It takes entirely too long for your blog to load right now and that is due to the fact that there are so many posts showing.
