If you do need a sidebar on your homepage, you could have a look through the theme directory. Many themes offer the option of a sidebar on the homepage.

Good luck!

Dealing with the same issue and much less experience and know-how. Blog is beautybearswitness.wordpress.com. I only see the side bar when the About page comes up. The homepage does not appear to have it. Any help for a techno-non geek would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for all your help, guys! :O)

I'm getting tired, as it's been a while since my old menchu blog which had all those pages (yes, I've imported my posts from there).

I have now turned the Welcome post into a Page and added that to the menu, all other links being Categories. It works fine and shows tags etc.

I do have another question, however, re moving the links within a Menu. I have noticed that when I wanted to shift links into the order I wanted, they placed themselves as a sub-link under another link, even 'tho I have the tickbox checked to automatically add top-level pages. I don't understand why this is happening, as the Welcome one moved fine from its original spot on the bottom of the list.

5. Widget-enabled sidebars are enabled on all pages.
6. Single post sidebars will in lieu of widgets show important post metadata.

However, I am not referring to the home page.

However, they do not show up when I am within a post. (which is a page, of course)

The theme id designed to have widget-enabled sidebars are enabled on all other pages.

However, they do not show up when I am within a post.

I have also noticed when visiting other AutoFocus users that the same issue applies to them too. Has WordPress decided to remove the widgets facility for this theme?

Despite having my post Categories show up on the home page, I would dearly love to have a Tag Cloud, and a Search box, and an RSS/Atom feeds link. I have set the theme to show the Follow button for non-WordPress users.
