Hi to all
I want to add a sidebar to my site (like this: http://www.marieforleo.com/blog/) but I dun’t understand how the widget works:
I want to add, to the sidebar, these widgets:
1) who I am
2)the most popular posts
3)and 2 other widgets from other plugins
but now…I haven’t the first 2 widgets…how can I add they?
I need to buy a plugin?
Thanks

Hello Julian,

Thanks for writing in!

You can place widgets from Appearance > Widgets. To display information about you, please use text widget.

Hi There,

I agree it does look good.

I am not sure I understand your question regarding the wdigets

Header widgets will be on the header area and footer widgets on footer.

If I did not answer your question please let us know more details about what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks

Joao
