on the following pages
http://accessibledestination.wordpress.com/testimonials-2/http://accessibledestination.wordpress.com/personnel-stories/I can not add the widget called recent post. it’s in my list of widgets, it just doesn’t show up on the pages.

Oh. You don’t HAVE any posts yet. That’s why nothing is showing up.
That is a static Page, not a blog. I think you’d better go through: http://learn.wordpress.com

Ok, so What I did is fine. Do I need a widget that allows people to post on my site?

No. Allowing people to post on your site either requires tens of thousands of dollars of infrastructure and security (eg Icanhascheezburger, which pays I think $30,000 a year) OR you can just create a page with a contact form, and call it something like Tell Us Your Story. Then it goes straight to your email and you can post the ones you like. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
PS you’ll want to read this: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/ then you will delete that page. You want to call it Personal Stories anyway, not Personnel Stories. Follow the instructions on that page step by step and it will work the way you want. Trust me, this is easier than it looks.

Yes. Read the link carefully, because there are multiple steps, but once you get it, you can do this for any category like “Testimonials”. It’s a really elegant trick.

Like I said, you don’t need to understand the instructions to execute them. Story of my life.
