  Have just installed Twenty Eleven and opted for two columns (with sidebar on left). Even though I’ve saved it I can’t get it the sidebar to show at all. Only shows one column. have done everything I am instructed to do in support but can’t get it right. Reason??? What have I done wrong? Thanks

  Is this your blog? http://infinitesadnessorwhat.wordpress.com/?ref=spelling
  If so I see a sidebar on the left and I wonder if you are aware that this theme does not display a sidebar on single post pages? I think you will benefit from read this article as it explains how the theme is designed to operate.

  Are there themes that will show the sidebar on every post?

  Yes, many of the older themes can display sidebars or every page in the blog. Please see here to make another theme selection that suits your needs > Sidebars and other widget areas: number and position > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/sidebars-and-other-widget-areas/
