  I installed the pages widget on my sidebar, titled it, and saved it, but it’s not showing up on my blog. Any suggestions?

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

  I don’t see any pages published – if you haven’t published any, the widget won’t display.

  Widgets only display data after the data has been created. The Pages widget will have no data that can be displayed until you actually create static Pages. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  The same is true for Categories widget and the Links widget. Unless or until you publish at least one post with categories assigned to it the Categories widget will have no data to display.

  The Links widget will display any links you have created through the links menu (Blogroll) after you have created them.
