Sorry folks, this problem was definetly operator error! This was my first install of version 2.7.1 When I tried add the first item using the widget menu I was alarmed when I saw all of my existing sidebar items disappear from my blog page. I backed off and removed that widget not trusting the widget add operation. Finally after much frustration I decided to add all of the widget items I wanted at once, and clicked the update button. All items then appeared in the right sidebar on my blog, and I was able to go back re-order the items with the widget. Sometimes it’s the simple stuff that throws me <Grin
