  Hello – is there any way at all to do sidebar widgets on the Ever After theme? It really is the theme I like best, but I hate that all the widgets get put at the very bottom of the blog. So if someone wants to follow my blog they have to scroll to the very bottom of all the articles to even see that it’s there. Is there any way I can use this theme that I like, and still have the sidebar option? Any help would be so appreciated!!

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

  Do you have CSS editing experience?

  Please ignore my first response above. 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 .

  Ok, so there is no way I can do this?

  Is there a way to maybe create a page link titled “Follow blog” that when you click on it, it links you to the “follow blog” widget? Just trying to think of a way people can easily sign up for emails without having to scroll all the way down.

  Thanks!

  @TT: This is the fifth time I’m trying to point this out: CSS editing can be used to create a sidebar, so stop using this mistaken stock reply of yours.
