 * Hi there
 * I can not for the life of me figure out how to add widgets to my blog outside
   of the right hand sidebar, that is where they default to.
 * I tried to figure it out by reading some posts on here but I can not understand
   it at all LOL
 * Can someone please try to explain it in laymans terms for me , I am not totally
   useless when it comes to computers BUT I am also not into much of this code talk
   either
 * Thanks SO much 🙂

 * It all depends on how your theme is coded and what options you have for your 
   widgets as some themes have footer area where you add widgets.

 * Esmi , I wish it did , unfortunately it is all foreign to me.
 * Im hoping I can edit my theme to be able to add the widgets elsewhere, which 
   is probably what that link is explaining, I just , unfortunately, need a clearer
   explanation 🙁 I feel so dumb

 * please start by posting more information, such as the name and download link 
   of your theme, and a more detailed description of where you want to add the widgets,
   etc.
 * without these details, it is not really possibly to give an easier explanation
   than the one given in the linked ref.
