Its not down, its slow because its hosted on a godaddy shared hosting.
could you please give it another try.
what theme are you using?
does the page template file functional.php contain any call of a sidebar file, like get_sidebar() or similar?
also, the linked site has various validation errors; check and fix them; http://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_a_Website
You build this theme or you get it on some theme site? I haven’t found any reference about this theme at all.
My tip for you: verify if this theme has a template that includes sidebar widgets. If it has just activate it and you are good to go.
Let me know your findings.

Hi alchymyth
in functional.php I can see this:
<?php
/* Run the loop to output the page.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘page’);
?>
<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Im not sure what this means.
I am not a php developer ):
I appreciate your help.

I noticed that in the style.css the description says:
Description: The 2013 theme for WordPress is stylish, customizable, simple, and readable — make it yours with a custom menu, header image, and background. Twenty Ten supports six widgetized areas (two in the sidebar, four in the footer) and featured images (thumbnails for gallery posts and custom header images for posts and pages). It includes stylesheets for print and the admin Visual Editor, special styles for posts in the “Asides” and “Gallery” categories, and has an optional one-column page template that removes the sidebar.
how can I enable the sidebar?
thanks.
Good Morning Malkah.
Maybe the theme has a template with the sidebar to select. Check this page to see how you can find and activate the template, if exists:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
Let me know if you find anything.

hi ellp
you are correct
there are 3 templates: default, functional, one-column-no-sidebar
no matter which of them I choose, I cant see the sidebar.
frustrating…
Malkah,
Did you activate the template, save the page and reload your browser? Sorry the silly question but I’m just checking 😉 Also you clean your browser cache force your browser get the new content?
Keep calm… we will find out a solution 😉
<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>
this is actually commenting the code, i.e. making it not getting used;
try to remove the commenting characters //
i.e. change it to
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Hi and thank you so much for your replies
ellp – yes of course, i also opened it on three different browsers.
alchymyth – I changed it on the functional.php file but still no sidebar.
Good Morning All 🙂
Strange @malkah. I recommend 2 things:
1) try to contact the theme creator and ask them for some guidance. Or…
2) consider change the theme. It will avoid more problems for you.
Let me know your toughs.
Thanks!
