I kept adding and deleting widgets to my sidebars until it worked.

Try adding 2 widgets (I chose Search and FB like box) into your primary and secondary sidebars. This seems to bump default meta and blog roll out.

I kept adding different widgets to the 2 sidebars and deleting them until it seemed to take. I placed a Facebook like box in the secondary menu but I don't have a facebook page, so it still bumped the meta/blog out but doesn't show up. A work-around I guess?

I also created a secondary (left black box menu) and a tertiary custom menu (which became links in the footer) that seemed to have an effect on where my widgets placed.

I also wasn't clearing my cache enough and got frustrated thinking that what I was doing wasn't working, but perhaps I wasn't patient enough. I finally checked in different browsers and realized that what I was doing was actually working.

I'm a newbie, I wish I could give you more of a direct path. Keep trying. You'll work it out. :)

Why can I not get my widgets to override default blogroll and meta widget sidebars? I've tried as much as I can think of.

Blog: http://eileencubbage.com

I want left sidebar widgets of black custom menu and one search field (which I have). I want no widgets in my right (secondary?) sidebar. I want a footer of a custom widget third menu. I had this at one point earlier this evening, I know it's possible, somehow I screwed everything up.

For some reason I now have a right sidebar of a second (?) search function and a blogroll/meta (default?) happening even when I have nothing saved to my secondary sidebar menus. I've tried removing, deleting, resaving...

thanks so much, sorry if not completely clear.
