  Hi there,

  To add Widgets follow this steps:
  Once you are logged in go to “My Sites”
  > Personalize click on “Customize”
  and once you’re on that page and then click on “Widget”.
  You can add the Widgets from there, make sure you select the location where you want to display your widget it can be Sidebar or Footer.

  We also have support document for adding the widget to your site,
  Please visit: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/

  Hope this helps! Thanks!

  Hi,

  Sorry to hear you’ve had the rug pulled out from under you. There might be a way to get that welcome module back, and there’s definitely a shortcut to getting to where you can install widgets, ("yoursiteaddress".wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php) but there are some more resources for getting started as well.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/start/ is a good resource, with a lot of good tutorials.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/dashboard/ gives a good rundown of the interface, I think.

  And for information on what the various widgets do, https://en.support.wordpress.com/category/widgets-sidebars/

  I apologize that I couldn’t help with your specific request, but I hope some of this information proves helpful on its own.

  Best,
  Leah
