Getting everything to work wasn't easy by any means, but definitely beats the alternative of designing a custom template to match an existing site, for someone like me who's never built a template. Many thanks. Terrific tutorial.

I had to edit my sidebar.php file to show what I wanted/didn't want. However, the easy way is to log into your wordpress admin control panel and click on 'Widgets' under 'Appearance', which is on the left. From there you can drag which widget you want onto your sidebar to activate/deactivate them.<br><br>Hope that helps,<br>Tracy David, I am sure it's not that you are doing anything wrong.

If anyone else is having the blank page issue, make sure when you copy the above code that you replace any curly ' or " marks with their straight counterparts. PHP has no idea what the fancy versions of those symbols mean and thus brought no data whatsoever. You guys might want to replace the above code with a plain font to avoid further confusion! <br><br>Besides the above, this works like a charm and I would recommend it to anyone! Great job.
