  I just started a blog and I want to clear all the stuff that was put on my sidebar so I can start from stratch. I can’t find how to do this. Also, when I add a widget to my sidebar and click “edit” on the widget, how do I add things to the widget? All it says is something like “Nothing in your widget”.

  The help section could use a very comprehensive guide to starting a blog, not just random FAQs. Maybe I am missing this. If I am I am sorry.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Once you make a change to your sidebar, the default sidebar will disappear and you will then rebuild entirely with widgets.

  This FAQ entry is pretty comprehensive and is replete with links to particulars:
