   Hey, I'm having a problem with getting my Widgets to show up on my web page. I'm able to drag and drop them to my sidebar, but when I refresh my webpage nothing has changed.

   For instance, in my Dashboard, I have:
   - Flickr
   - Categories
   - Recent Posts
   - Etc.

   On my webpage:
   - Pages
   - Archives
   - Blog roll
   - Meta
   - Etc.

   Any reason why this would be happening?

   I think your theme not support dynamic sidebar.
   Try this into sidebar.php
   

   <div id="sidebar">
   <ul>
   <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?>
     /* write here original sidebar contents, or keep nothing */
   <?php endif; ?>
   </ul>
   </div>

   Okay, that definitely worked. However, the old stuff is still there and the new sidebar is in the wrong place. Any idea how to solve this?

   BTW, I wrote "keep nothing" and it didn't change anything.

   the old stuff is still there

   Because you dont remove the code that output the old stuff.

   /* write here original sidebar contents,
   means:
   If you want to show the old stuff when no widgets are specified,
   replace '/* write here original sidebar contents, or keep nothing */' with the code that output the old stuff.

   or keep nothing */
   means:
   If you DONT want to show the old stuff anyway,
   delete '/* write here original sidebar contents, or keep nothing */' or dont edit the comment.

   If you are confused, pls show your sidebar.php. I will fix it.

   			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>
   
   			<li><h2>Archives</h2>
   				<ul>
   				<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
   				</ul>
   			</li>
   
   			<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
   
   			<?php if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
   				<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
   
   				<li><h2>Meta</h2>
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_register(); ?>
   					<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
   					<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
   					<?php wp_meta(); ?>
   				</ul>
   				</li>
   			<?php } ?>
   
   		</ul>
   		<? $sg = 'banner'; include "templates.php";?>
   	</div>
   
   <div id="sidebar">
   <ul>
   <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?> keep nothing
   <?php endif; ?>
   </ul>
   </div>

   This code will work fine for you:
   

   <div id="sidebar">
     <ul>
       <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?>
       <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>
       <li><h2>Archives</h2>
         <ul>
           <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
         </ul>
       </li>
       <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
       <?php if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
       <?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
       <li><h2>Meta</h2>
         <ul>
           <?php wp_register(); ?>
           <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
           <li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
           <?php wp_meta(); ?>
         </ul>
       </li>
       <?php } ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
     </ul>
     <? $sg = 'banner'; include "templates.php";?>
   </div>
