widgets not displaying properly

    I’m hoping someone can help me. I’ve resisted posting something on the forum, but I’m truly at a loss. I recently changed themes (for the first time) – the new theme is hopefull, not realizing that changing themes screws with the widgets. Anyway, on my homepage when I chose “default template” it doesn’t display the ‘Blog’ widget or the ‘General’ widget. It only displays the ‘Homepage’ widget (right sidebar), but it displays it further down the page (rather than right below the “upcoming events” slide. I want it to look like the theme demo and have the 3 most recent posts on the left (with a thumbnail), and a menu and some other content on the right sidebar. The only way I can get the blog to show up at all is if I chose the “Blog Page” template – and for some it displays a really old post at the top. ?? Ugh. I’m not too well-versed on coding (other than minor things like changing colors, fonts, etc.) so I don’t even know if this is a widget problem or something else. Would love if someone could help me out!

    I currently have my homepage template set to “full width” because it’s the only way that doesn’t make the page look screwy. Here’s my sidebar.php code:

    <div id=”sidebar_content”>

    <!– Widgetized Areas –>

    <div id=”donate-widget” class=”widget”>
    <h3 style=”visibility: visible;”><span class=”typeface-js-vector-container”><canvas height=”18″ width=”65″ style=”margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;”/><span class=”typeface-js-selected-text” style=”margin-left: -66px; letter-spacing: -0.125px; width: 65px;”>Support </span><canvas height=”18″ width=”32″ style=”margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;”/><span class=”typeface-js-selected-text” style=”margin-left: -33px; letter-spacing: 0px; width: 32px;”>Our </span><canvas height=”18″ width=”48″ style=”margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;”/><span class=”typeface-js-selected-text” style=”margin-left: -49px; letter-spacing: -0.2px; width: 48px;”>Cause</span></span></h3>
    <div id=”donate-inner”>

    <form method=”post” target=”_blank” action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr”&gt;

    else {

    } ?>
