Added Widgets and Sideblog

To incorporate Asides into my blog I added Automattic’s widget along with Sideblog 3.0. Everything is up and running and seems to be functioning well. It works but it also kind of threw my sidbar out of wack. Now I have bulleted headers that I don’t want and my Recent Posts were set to only list the last 5 and now since I changed the code it’s listing 10.

Here is the code for the sidebar:
________________________________

<div id=”search”>

<form method=”get” id=”sform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?>/”>
<div class=”searchimg”></div>
<input type=”text” id=”q” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>” name=”s” size=”15″ />
</form>

</div>

<div id=”sidebar”>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
______________________________

and the funtions.php:
______________________________

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>
______________________________

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
