  How can I make the widgets show on my main page as opposed to the elippses?

  I checked out your blog but did not see any ellipsis.

  Here are some help pages on adding widgets to your blog:

  You were able to see my widgets on the front page? Cause I read that a feature is resonar is to have the widgets show up in the ellipsis.

  Sorry, I’ve been switching back and forth between Resonar and Dara. I’ve now activated the Resonar. Take a look to see what I mean.

  hi,

  I see what you mean now.
  I tested the theme at https://wordpress.org/themes/resonar/ and I believe the ellipsis is a feature to alternate between sidebar and body.

  To make your widgets stand out, Dara might be better than Resonar.

  Thank you for that. I’ve been so concerned about the overall layout. Which is why I have not been able to choose. Visually, do you think the Dara is more appealing?

  My biggest issue with the Dara was that the header logo is huge,and it cuts off my main image. I had been told the only way to decrease the size is to add css codes, which I can only do if I upgrade to a premium plan. I really didn’t want to have to do that.

  hi,

  I think Dara and Resonar both have their fans, as well as detractors.
  The beauty of the WordPress community is you don’t have to settle on choosing one of the two. There are a lot more to choose from. For example, if you are looking for Travel related themes, you can check out:
  https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/travel

  You may apply filter depending on your choice/needs.

  Hope this helps.
