  How do you add a widget not to the side bar, but to the left where all the blogs and etc is? I have the link, but i want it to be on the left side where all the writing and everything is, like the page instead of the bar. It’s a chat box, but i want help to know how to do that,

  You can’t, I’m afraid. You can only add a widget to a sidebar or, if your theme supports it, to a footer.

  Mystique does have a footer area (split into several columns). Have a look at the demo page here:

  http://mystiquedemo.wordpress.com/

  and the main showcase page for the theme is here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/mystique/

  However, it’s all rather pointless as I’ve since found out that the chatbox widget that used to be available on WordPress.com blogs is no longer available, and the only way you’d be able to add another chatbox is to get a self-hosted blog instead.

  Please see this:

  It might be that the chatbox you saw on the other person’s blog was on a self-hosted blog.
