Showcase layout not working!

    I have the twenty eleven theme. I hate how the layout changes when you go to a post. It becomes only one column. and I've done like is said in the theme description, create a page with showcase template and then assign it as the front page. It works for the home page of the blog, but I can't assign it as a front page to the post-pages, which is what I want! Do I have to change theme?

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

    The Showcase template in Twenty Eleven is a Page template which you can set as the front page of your site. That's how this theme's showcase template works. http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/showcase/

    Did you read the description and how to use the Showcase template on the theme's Theme Showcase page? http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/

    Yes I've checked all that. But here when you go to a certain post http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/pull-quotes-in-twenty-eleven/ there is no sidebar! And it people find my blog by a link to a post, they will only read the post and then leave! I want to have a sidebar! Do I have to change theme?

    IOf you wiash to have a sidear of single post pages then you need to select a theme that's coded to have one. Twenty Eleven si coded not to have a sidebar on single posts (Twenty Eleven).

    I'm sorry about that fumbled fingered mess above. The Twenty Eleven theme is bot coded to have a sidebar on single posts displayed on their own pages.

    I don't feel the same way about sidebars on single post pages that you do and I despise infite scrolling. Different strokes for different folks. :) Here's the link to the Themes Showcase.
