    I'm using a theme that is not widget ready. I may eventually try and do it but in the mean time I was wondering how do I get meta and a calendar to show up in my sidebar? And how do I get it so that it shows the tags associated with my post? For instance.

    Or something like that

    Posted by author you would need this code:

    <?php the_author(); ?>

    The tags you would need this code:

    <?php the_tags(); ?>

    To get the meta data on their just copy them from the default themes sidebar. You should see them towards the bottom of the sidebar.php file.

    I want to do the same thing with the tags but it doesn't want to work... Does someone have any tips?

    Here is my piece of code:

    <?php
    
    			$recent = new WP_Query('showposts=1');
    			while($recent->have_posts()) {
    				$recent->the_post();
    				the_category();
    				the_tags('', ', ', '');
    			}
    			$all_tags = wp_tag_cloud('smallest=11&largest=21&unit=px&number=20&format=array');
    		?>

    Thanks :)
