  Please can anyone help? Every time I try to use a widget on the left hand side of my blog the category boxes which come as part of the original design disappear. Is there any way I can have both?
  Thank you.

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

  What you were seeing before adding any widgets yourself is a theme-generated sample set. Once you add a widget, the sample set will disappear. Simply add in the other widgets that you want to have in the sidebar and arrange them as you wish.

  Thank you for that. So will there be a widget somewhere that will replace the boxes from the theme generated sample which held the dates and the categories of my posts?

  Sorry to be dense. I am really not a techie at all!

  You have to add those from the appearance widgets page. All the widgets in the sample set – and more – are there in the available widgets area.
