PLEASE HELP – How do I add a sidebar to my wordpress website?
-
I like this theme I am using but it doesn’t seem to allow a side bar. I know it would fit and it would be great if there was a way to add one.
It says the side bar is inactive. Is there a way too add a side bar anyway? Using a plugin maybe? I don’t know how to add plug ins to my website.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Plugins can’t be used on WordPress.com blogs. And as far as I know the only place you can put widgets in Wu Wei is in the footer. The alternatives are to find a similar theme and customise it to the way you like it. Or move your blog to self-hosting and use the free WordPress software. Here’s the differences between the two types of WordPress:

If you do decide to use the self-hosted version, then you should ask your questions on their forums, not here:
If you stay here… probably best to learn more about how you can use the blog you already have:

This isn’t a plugin related issue. We cannot edit templates or themes and the CSS upgrade cannot be used to add a sidebar to pages which do not have one already. That would require hacking of the underling PHP script files, which we cannot do on free hosted WordPress.com blog .
