I also have web hosting through yahoo and have alot of questions on how to do things. I am also struggling with the same question with the widget sidebar and also how to install a new theme. If anyone would please help. That would be great.
Thanks,
Virginia

The version of WordPress that your friends at Y! give you is very out of date. 2.0.2 I believe?
I don’t recall much about that versions (aside from security issues?) but I think that was back in the days when you needed the actual widget plugin installed and active to use widgets.
You probably really want to start with an upgrade. Search around here for “yahoo upgrade” to get a handle on the interesting wrinkles your host might cause.
