Well, I don’t want to post up my site, but here is the sidebar code and function code:

SIDEBAR.php

<!-- begin r_sidebar -->

	<div id="r_sidebar">

  <ul id="r_sidebarwidgeted">
    <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else : ?>
    <form action="https://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box">
  <div>
    <input type="text" name="q" size="27" />
    <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
  </div>
</form>
</br>
    <li id="Recent Posts">
      <h2>Recent Posts</h2>
      <ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li id="Categories">
      <h2>Categories</h2>
      <ul>
        <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li id="Archives">
      <h2>Archives</h2>
      <ul>
        <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
<ul>
      <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>

</div>    

<!-- end r_sidebar -->

FUNCTIONS.php

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
    register_sidebars(2);
?>

Is there a certain code I need to have in order for the widgets to show up?

Thank you Michael. Now, here’s part 2 to my concern:

Let’s say for example I have a page on my blog called “About”, which is located in the navigation and has a url of https://www.example.com/about. This is a completely static page. In the “About” content are a list of the bloggers names who contribute to the blog. Would it be possible for each of their names to be a hyperlink that will go to their individual bio pages, so the URL would be https://www.example.com/about/blogger1bio.html. How do I do this and still maintain the current theme of the blog?

^can i email or message you the link? i don’t really wanna post it here.

^Awesome! That did the trick.

I’ve noticed another issue has come up. Hopefully you can provide information.

When I click on a category, the very first post in that category page does not show the date (but it does show the title, # of comments, and content) and the very last post on the category page only shows the date but not the title, # of comments, or content. Everything in between these 2 posts show all the information I want to be shown (title, # of comments, and date).

Any thoughts?

hey guys, thanks for the help.

unfortunately, in my archives.php i don’t see a the_excerpt(). here is the code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

<div id="contentmiddle">

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for the '<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>' Category</h4>

<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h4>

<?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h4>

<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h4>

<?php /* If this is a search */ } elseif (is_search()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Search Results</h4>

<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Author Archive</h4>

<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
<h4 class="pagetitle">Blog Archives</h4>

<?php } ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<div class="contenttitle">
<br />
<h6 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">• <?php the_title(); ?></a></h6><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments ', '1 Comment ', '% Comments '); ?>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></small><br /><br />

		</div>

		<!--
		<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
		-->

		<?php endwhile; else: ?>

		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
		<p><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&larr; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &rarr;')); ?></p>
	</div>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<!-- The main column ends  -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Suggestions? Comments? Feedback?

Does anyone have feedback on this? Would it be the search engine’s issue or a .htaccess problrm?
