You need to add the widgetized sidebar code to the appropriate location in your template files.
For example, if you registered your sidebar as follows, in functions.php:
{{{
register_sidebar(array( // Above Posts widget area
‘name’=>’sidebar-posts-before’,
‘description’ => ‘Area to display Widgets above Posts’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<div class=”title widgettitle”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</div>’,
));
}}}
Then, you need to modify the appropriate template file so that before the Loop*, you call the following:
{{{
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-posts-before’ ) ) {
// Put any default (i.e. no-Widget) output here
} ?>
}}}
* Note: The start of the Loop looks something like this (perhaps in index.php, or loop.php, etc.):
{{{
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
}}}
If you want this widgetized area to appear before *all* Posts, then, it should go immediately before the line above, e.g.:
{{{
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-posts-before’ ) ) {
// Put any default (i.e. no-Widget) output here
}
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
}}}
Whoops; Trac formatting doesn’t work in the support forum. Trying again:
For example, if you registered your sidebar as follows, in functions.php:
register_sidebar(array( // Above Posts widget area
'name'=>'sidebar-posts-before',
'description' => 'Area to display Widgets above Posts',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<div class="title widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</div>',
));
Then, you need to modify the appropriate template file so that before the Loop*, you call the following:
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-posts-before' ) ) {
// Put any default (i.e. no-Widget) output here

Do you want to style the sidebar, or the Widgets within the sidebar?
I would recommend viewing source in your browser, to get an idea of what your various container classes are.
