I see. I have Twenty Eleven. Is there anyway to add them to each post?

Consult your theme description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentytwelve/

Widgets and No-sidebar Layout
Twenty Twelve loves the no-sidebar look as much as you do. Use the optional “Full-width page, no sidebar” page template to remove the sidebar from any page. Want to simplify even more and remove the sidebar from all your posts and pages? You guessed it! Simply remove any active widgets to the Main Sidebar area and the sidebar will disappear.

I've been posting for a few months, and have had some difficulties ensuring my sidebar widgets appear everywhere on my site. I've managed to have them show on all pages (About Me, for example), but not on an individual post (so every time a reader clicks on a post in particular, the sidebar disappears). Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks,
Lauren

Looking at the options I figured that it meant it would show archives in a monthly fashion if I chose "monthly", which is why I chose that as opposed to weekly or whatever. So that's why it didn't make sense why the darn thing wasn't showing up.

That has been a great help and it's much appreciated. I'll be sure to not make that mistake whenever I choose to add the archives to any other themes I might use in the future!

Cheers!

The visibility options don't control what will or won't show in the widget, they control which pages the widget will or won't show on. When you select "Show if date is monthly archives", you say that the widget will appear on monthly archive pages only. Check for yourself:
http://transparencyofadreamer.wordpress.com/2013/04/
To make a widget appear on all pages, you don't tamper with the visibility options at all when you first drag it to Sidebar. Now that you've added the widget, open it, click Visibility, set the second pulldown to "--Select--" (so that nothing is selected), save.

* Show post counts is checked.
* Show if date is monthly archives.

You mentioned there is no sidebar on single posts. I'm not trying to add a widget or sidebar to a single post. I want the archives just on the main page for now. As far as I know I don't have any sidebars active except for when I try to drag and drop the widget in one of the sections - one of those sections says "main sidebar" which currently houses my links and those show fine. Why the widget will not doesn't make sense to me when the links show fine.

I had dragged and dropped the archives into the section that says main side bar where my links are. Those show up fine. The widgit however does not. No matter where I put it, main sidebar / footers...doesn't matter.

Maybe I should be just looking for a different theme altogether as it seems I'm too dense to understand why the widgets aren't showing up and I can't identify the issue through the links you provided :(

I'm trying to add an archive which just doesn't want to show up.

I followed the tutorial. Currently I have the widgit in my main sidebar area as the second option under my main links. The showcase sidebar and the 3 footers are empty at this time.

Checked - http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-not-showing-up-3?replies=9 and followed advice there - no dice. I also searched back 10 pages as well with no other topics that helped.

I'm looking to have archives just on the main blog itself that can be found at transparencyofadreamer.wordpress.com - I'm not looking to have it on all of my individual pages / posts at this time. Possibly later, but not at this time.

Current theme - 2011.
Left side bar chosen and selected.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong unless I missed a point in the 2011 theme that states Widgits aren't available.

Any feedback would be a great help! Thanks :)

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.

type in the name of the theme you want to use
click the "activate" link when it appears

After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

I would like to change this so that the sidebars are present on every post.

Templates are for Pages not Posts. That's not possible. There is no sidebar on single posts in Twenty Eleven.

I'm using the Twenty Eleven theme which allows you to apply templates to each page (default, sidebar, or showcase).
The individual posts that are published are posted as the default template. I would like to change this so that the sidebars are present on every post.
