  I posted my 1st blog on Perfect Day Wedding Planners, drag/dropped widgets on the sidebars however, the widgets are not showing on my blog. What can I do so they show up? Is it the template I chose? It shows them available to drag and drop.

  Thank you!

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

  There is no sidebar on single posts displayed on their own pages in the Twenty Eleven theme. That means your visitors are focused on reading the post rather than being distracted by what’s in the sidebar. You will have to select a different theme if you want a sidebar on every page in the blog. See: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/sidebars-and-other-widget-areas/

  I find these to be very helpful when working with the Twenty Eleven theme.

  I’m seeing widgets to the right of your blog post. Are you not seeing them on the main page? If you are talking about on the single post pages, twenty eleven does not show a sidebar on the single post pages. If you desire that, then you will have to change themes.

  Thank you everyone! How do I know which template supports sidebars…since in the template it allowed me to enter and choose the widgets for sidebar for Twenty One.
