    I changed themes from the default to mistylook 3.2 and now I have lost the links and the meta sideboxes. I can't figure out what is wrong. Looked at sidebar.php code. It appears to be the same as the default theme code.

    Is it commented out?
    <!--<?php wp_meta(); ?>-->

    Not in sidebar.php. Anywhere else I should look?

    I'm not familiar with the theme, but if the code is there, it wouldn't be anywhere else.
    Just for grins, paste the sidebar.php at:
    http://wordpress.pastebin.ca
    and put the link back here. Looking at it would be a help.

    FYI: I had the home page set for a "static page". If I change it to "latest posts", the meta sidebox appears. I did not have this issue witrh the default theme.

    Look in page.php and see what sidebar is being called. Some themes use differing sidebars for pages, posts and archives, etc.
    I'll look through your code, also.

    Just got a response from the author on another site:
    "...it is by design, some portions of the sidebar are only shown on the front page.

    it is achieved by this line of code
    <?php if(is_home()) {?> and a corresponding closing tag <?php }?>

    if you remove those 2 lines, you will be all right."
