    They’re not widgets. That’s the default sidebar content within your chosen theeme. If you don’t use widgets (Admin/Appearance/Widgets), this is what’s shown on your sidebar. add 1 widget and all of the default content disappears and only your single widget shows.

    So you have two options – edit sidebar.php and remove the default content code or add a widget.

    or, you can comment out the code in case you want it later 😉

    go into Appearance>Editor and locate sidebar.php and wrap these tags around anything you don’t want:

    <?php /*?>whatever you want to hide is here<?php */?>

    Since you declare you are a “noobie” and would likely have to work to put it all back in, best to simply hide it, don’t you think?

    Good point about commenting out code. You never know when it might come in useful again.
