Hello! I finally figured out the widgets for the sidebar and added "Category Archives" to my customized beta column, but the categories don't show up. I notice that the data is getting captured when I preview an entry before publishing it so I'm totally confused. What do I need to do??

Here's my blog:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

First thing to look at is your code.

CODE

<div id="gamma">
    <div id="gamma-inner">

        <div class="widget-sanae-info widget">
    <div>
    <h3 class="widget-header">
        About Sanae
    </div>
    <div class="widget-content">
        <p>I'm an illustrator and crafty mom and I stay up way too late making stuff. For more info, please go to <a href="http://www.sanaeishida.com">my website</a></p>
        </div>

</div>

You are missing closing divs (5 opening, 3 cloing) and a h3, try this and see what happens

CODE

<div id="gamma">
    <div id="gamma-inner">
        <div class="widget-sanae-info widget">
    <div>
    <h3 class="widget-header">About Sanae</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="widget-content">
        <p>I'm an illustrator and crafty mom and I stay up way too late making stuff. For more info, please go to <a href="http://www.sanaeishida.com">my website</a></p>
      </div>

Hi Rob,

Thanks so much for the advice. I copied in your code above and re-published my site, but now I just have an extra space between my "About" section and the "Recent Entries" section...am I doing something wrong?

I see a calendar between about and recent entries.

You now have 2 divs called gamma and gamma-inner, these should be unique on the page.

Try changing the widget code to

CODE

<div class="widget-sanae-info widget">
    <div>
    <h3 class="widget-header">About Sanae</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="widget-content">
        <p>I'm an illustrator and crafty mom and I stay up way too late making stuff. For more info, please go to <a href="http://www.sanaeishida.com">my website</a></p>
      </div>
