  I seem to have , two search boxes, two RECENT COMMENTS, two CATAGORIES & two META titles on my home page. I have tried adding my category widgets, but no change. I have tried entering info into the categories & posting them, with no change. It looks unprofessional. Help please?

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

  All themes here will display a default display that appears to contain a sample set of widgets in the sidebar and/or footer when you have not yet added any of your own. Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the widgets you desire to the sidebars and/or footers, configure them and save them. Then and the default display will disappear.

  Also note that widgets have “visibility” settings so we can select which pages they display on. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility
