   Hi
   Im new to this and have a few basic questions. I am using the 20-11 theme.

   How do I change the layout of the top menu? I want the different page titles in a different order.

   How can I change the sidebar from left to right?

   Why does the sidebar disappear on Blog posts?

   How can I get the Blog page to show a summary of the posts, rather than the entire post? Also, on the home page, I want just a summary, not the entire post.

   When using Widgets, I want to see the latest comment itself, and not who posted it? How do I change that?

   That'll do for starters.
   Thank you in anticipation.
   Graham

   The blog I need help with is exoticgardenssvg.wordpress.com.

   You won't be able to do most of the first few requests without a knowledge of CSS editing and the Custom Design upgrade. You will not be able to force the sidebar to display on individual posts on that theme at all; that is hard-coded in and cannot be changed.

   You can get it to display a summary on the main page by using the More button, the one that looks like a dotted line across a piece of paper. You can't display a summary of the post on the post itself; the whole post has to go SOMEWHERE.

   The Recent Comments widget is not configurable.
