  Dragging and activating widgets? I have forgotten which ones I have and don’t even know if I have them yet.

  Please take a deep breath and then relax. Every theme has a default display of particular widgets. When you go into that area -> Appearance -> Widgets and move one you over-ride that default display.

  Simply go back in -> Appearance -> Widgets and choose the widgets you want to use. Drag and drop them in the position you want them to appear.

  This is a link to the support documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com On this page http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/ you will find links to instructions for each of the different kinds of widgets.

  O.K. Under sidebar 1 it says I have delicious. If I press on the arrow next to it something scrolls down. It says widget title, delicious log-in, number of links
  Then it says show bookmarks and save. What does that mean?

  Read the link panos gave you. Read it repeatedly if you have to.

  Tried what I could. Under appearances nothing about widgets. The widget is already
  there on the right so what is there to drag? Tried to fix things by canceling the widget but it is still there. Very confused. I have no idea what I did actually

  Thanks. There are no widgets now, so I’m assuming the problem is solved.

  The problem is not solved. There is a lime near the edge of my blog that wasn’t there before and the links are still not there. What do I do? Thanks.

  Go to the Widgets page and put the Links widget back in your sidebar.
