  Hi there, speaking of sidebar problems, my blog – thathungrychef.com (hosted on wordpress.com) has sidebard when viewing page links, but not when viewing post links. I am using a theme called Black-LetterHead by Ulysses Ronquillo.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks.

  The Black Letterhead theme does not display sidebars on every page in the blog. When titles or comment links are clicked and posts are viewed on their own pages there is no sidebar. This is intentional.

  Most themes do have sidebars on every page. Only a few themes do not have sidebars when viewing single posts and pages on their own pages. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/widgets-on-pages-or-single-posts/ We have a Themes Forum and the searchbox there does have a feature filters. It’s a live demo site > see here > http://theme.wordpress.com/

  You’re welcome. It’s also wise to know that when a blog displays widgets on each and every page there are two factors to consider.

  (1) The more widgets there are on a any page the longer that page takes to load. Studies show people click out after waiting only 3-4 seconds. Moreover page loading time is a page ranking factor. So if you choose a theme that displays widgets on every page then make sure you have set the number of posts displaying on your front page to a low number, consider inserting “the more tag” into the posts displaying on your front page to reduce page loading time.

  (2) If you choose a theme that does display widgets on every page in the blog then do not install any decorative vanity widgets. Install only those that direct visitors to content found deeper than the front page in your blog

  Great. Thanks for that. I’ve changed themes and it’s resolved my problem.

  And having a static page as the front page, with no blog posts on it resolved page loading.

  Having a static front page may be a turn-off to returning readers. See here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/12/29/static-front-blog-page-yay-or-nay/
