  Using Andreas09. blog is on wordpress.com.
  I have several text widgets in sidebar that I am unable to edit. There is no edit or save button and the text in the widgets are grayed out. I am unable to touch or bring up the text when clicking any place on the text widget or clicking on the arrow. The text in the widget does not show except for the title and it is grayed out. The drop down arrow is grayed out and clicking it just expands each text widget to the left but does not allow me to affect the text in any way. So far, I have lost 2 text widgets and content just trying to reach them unsuccessfully. Help!!!

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

  If so I see these 5 widgets in the sidebar. Pages, Archives, Categories, Blogroll, Meta

  While on the widgets screen, try clicking “Screen Options” and enabling the “accessibility mode”.
