  Is there a way to get a sidebar on the homepage, but not on the regular pages? Like if I clicked on one of my blog posts it would bring up a large full page photo/article.

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

  With modularity lite, you can set a “no-sidebar full-width page template on static pages you create such as your about page. On post related pages such as the main, categories, tags, single-post page, and archives, no.

  You can turn off the sidebar for all pages in appearance > theme options.

  If you want to do it more selectively, then you would have to have some CSS editing experience and buy the CSS upgrade.

  Is there another theme I could switch to that would allow it? I don’t want to mess around with the code. If not, I’ll just forget about it and use what I have.

  This will get you part of the way to knowing what shows on what.

  Widgets on static pages or single posts

  This does not cover category, tags and archives pages. Category/tags/archives pages in general follow the main blog page.

  With modularity lite, you have the the 4 footer widget areas, which you can use when you set the theme to “full-width” at appearance > theme options.
