   Hi Leland

   Just stumbled into your page in my desperate search for WP tools and help.

   It looks very professional and useful – you’re in my “favourite list” now.

   I’ve been playing a bit with DotNetNuke, but have now my first WP blog up and running since a few days back. Very new to this stuff.

   Here it is: http://www.pratapengar.nu/wordblog/index.php

   My first problem is the sidebar, looks pretty skinny and empty.
   Looks like you, and may others, are using some table layout??

   Can I find the code for it – or is it a completely different theme you are using?

   Cheers for now…

   You may want to consider using sidebar widgets to fill up your sidebar.

   More info here: What exactly is a widget-ready WordPress theme?

   Thanks Leland

   I just went through your tutorial – excellent and easy to follow.

   One problem with being at this early stage – I get a couple of questions answered and immediately fin 5 or 6 new once.

   But I followed the tutorial and stuck in a few Widgets in the sidebar.
   But it didn’t change the appearance a bit?

   Looking at your example in the tutorial, do I need to change to a “two-side column-theme”?

   On this site you are using full width banners, 3 column split and 2 column split????????

   I had some Google ads in my sidebar before this experiment, they are now gone. Do I need to put Google code into the text-widgets now? Would that be the case with other Affiliate banner ads?

   How do I access the code? Do I need to go back to “sidebar.php”?

   That’s it for now Leland, I’m going to look for some RSS feeds.

   Cheers for now…

   Hi Leland

   Can you please suggest a theme for a beginner?

   At the moment I have the 2 column WP-Default theme, but believe that I can’t utilize the space to the right sufficiently.

   A good theme for a beginner might be the Sandbox theme: http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/
