Ok, so I’ve removed just about all the hardcode I didn’t want from the sidebar.php file – and it’s finally letting me customize the north_sidebar. The east and west are actually perfect and I plan on leaving them alone.
However – now I’m trying to add the links widget and it doesn’t even show up in the code whatsoever. I can’t tell if the code is even being added or something is *again* blocking it from being executed.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated, I really like the theme and want to work with it.
