What theme are you using? If it’s the default, see this:

Using the default, thank you for the information I’ll let you know if it works.
I tried replacing the current sidebar with the sidebar.php extracted from kubrick_sidebar.zip but saw no difference. What did I do wrong? I want a sidebar on all pages including when making a comment.
Instructions on manually modifying the default theme are also found in that thread:

Instructions on manually modifying the default theme are also found in that thread (it takes a little more than just replacing the sidebar.php template):

When the docs refer to the template which one is it, should I look in Themes or under Blog?
Which template? Usually when we talk about templates we’re referring to the various .php files in a theme.
Note I mention one needs to edit each “primary” template, these being the templates intended for a *query type* such as archives, categories and single posts. For the default theme it would be the Page (page.php) and single post (single.php) templates that need to be edited to add the sidebar. There’s also the need to edit the Header (header.php) template to deal with the background image in the content area.
Thanks here’s what happened, on the comment page it pushes the comments down and only half the sidebar (length) is appearing. Should I adjust the colmn width or since part of the bar appears is the real problem the length?
I changed widcolumn to narrow column but the rest of the sidebar doesn’t show up and the comments are still pushed toward the page bottom.
Using the default theme I put in <?php get_sidebar();?>
in single.php the top part of the sidebar shows, anyone know how to make the entire sidebar show?
