Sidebar Widgets!
Published August 21, 2006 by Lori
A few quick facts about widgets…
- Using widgets will replace the default sidebar on your blog. If you want the default sidebar back, remove all widgets from the sidebar box.
- To use widgets, go to the ‘Presentation’ section of your admin area, and click on the tab called ‘Sidebar Widgets’.
- Drag and drop the widgets you want to use from the bottom of the page (they are the little rectangles) to the ‘Sidebar’ box above.
- If there is a little box graphic next to the widget title, it means that there are one or more options that you can configure for that widget, such as changing the title.
- You can change the order that the widgets are displayed in your sidebar by dragging them to the spot you want them to appear.
- You must click on the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom right of the page before any changes are applied to your blog.

[...] Sidebar widgets are drag and drop additions that you can add to your sidebar, for example a list of recent posts or comments. A quick-start widget guide has been posted on the Autiblogger Tips blog. [...]
The widgets feature is awesome. I added an RSS feed for Autism!
Thanks Lori.

Yes,I am not always good at blogging.Done better before,not this;my whole dashboard on “dorothyblueeyes.autiblogger.com” is STUCK. Frozen.All Frozen.I cannot move it,cannot do it,change it,nothing.The upload I was trying,under “insert/edit”(the file/picture)is stuck,will not close.ha ha. Oh,God,I was trying to upload a picture off my computer and got it totally wrong,boy,did I;not only will it not upload right,at all,now the whole system,dashboard, is FROZEN STIFF. PLEASE, are there any administrators?Moderators?At least on other blog sites, I can get infor. from a staff.Here,there is no “contact us” at all. PLease,someone go to this site,?”artistinautism”?Or send me a note, at “[email removed for security - LB]” to “dorothyblueeyes,”so I can unfreeze this,find a SIMPLE way to upload pix,onto my blog,off my computer?sheeesh. Thanks so much,dorothyblueeeys, wrecked my blog already.sigh.
Hi dorothyblueeyes,
I just tested and as far as I can tell, things are working fine. What web browser and operating system are you using? How large was the image you were trying to upload and what type of file was it, for example .jpg, .gif, etc.
The best way to get help is to post your request through the dashboard contact form or through the contact link on the main autiblogger page, as you have done with this one. I am sorry you are having problems, but in the future, please post your support request only once and only in one place.
Autiblogger is still in beta testing. Part of beta testing is identifying problems and fixing them. Please send a description of exactly what steps you took before the problem occurred, as well as some information about your web browser, operating system, and computer (i.e. browser name and version, e.g. internet explorer 6, operating system, e.g. Windows XP, processor speed, e.g. 900 MHz, amount of memory (RAM), e.g. 512 MB). If you are still having problems with your dashboard, please use this form to submit the information.
If anyone else is having this problem, please contact me with the same information mentioned above.
Thanks!
I take it that the default theme doesn’t support widgets? There is no “Sidebar Widgets” tab in my Presentation section. . . .
Which themes do support widgets?
Thanks!
