  Hi!

  Nurture features three widget areas that are shown at the top of the site as described at the bottom of the page here:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/nurture/support/

  It looks like you have several setup currently. You should see them when you click the arrow icon here:

  

  Can you give that a try?

  Hey Jim!

  Each theme displays widgets a bit differently. With the Nurture theme, widgets are hidden by default until someone clicks the action arrow. In many themes, arrows like that denote something hidden. For example, you’ll see a similar experience if you click the buttons at the top of the Ryu theme here:

  http://ryudemo.wordpress.com/

  Similarly, the Syntax theme offers widgets hidden to the left:

  http://syntaxdemo.wordpress.com/

  There’s no real instruction telling a reader to click the button to open up the widget area. It’s more of an intuitive thing that readers will pick up over time.
