Beginner Code Problem!

Hi, Firstly let me say that I have only been playing with WordPress for the last week and have relatively no experience with HTML or PHP code. I have built a site using the visual editor in dreamweaver and so on, but anyways!

I installed the free shaken & Grid template which is brilliant, however there was a couple of things I want to change.

I worked out how to add the comments section to the site by reading this forum, but I want to add the side bar to the main page.

So I added this code to the main template

‘
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!– #page –>
</div><!– #wrap –>’

Which made the side bar appear but none of the links or widgets work.

I have spent ages trying to work this out so anyhelp would be really appreciated!

Thanks
