Thank you! I love you! I love the internet!

I was pulling my hair out over this, but that one simple change solved it all. Thanks!

Code – it scares me.
Comment forms, they scare me. This should have been here in the first place, sorry.

Great advice here. You may need to change the column style to ‘narrow’ at the top of the page in order to leave room for the sidebar. Look at ho it’s done on the ‘page’ code compared to the ‘post’ code (which is set to ‘wide’ by default in this theme.)

Steven I would actually need to see what you did and your code in order to troubleshoot it for you. I suggest you make sure the code is correct and in the correct place. You may be missing a closing tag or have an extra one or something like that.

Sorry but I can’t possibly fix everyone’s blog who asks. But if you are using the default theme I suggest trying another, there are so many good free themes available.

I followed the instructions, but unfortunately when I did it, my sidebar is sent to the bottom of the page (on the content pages)… when i tried moving it to the top, the sidebar appeared where I wanted it to, but then the blog post would move down the page. Is there a way to fix this? (I’m using the default theme). Thanks for your time.

You’ve given a good technique for adding the side bar on wordpress default theme pages and that will be the most useful one.
