 * After you add the widget, hit the _Save Changes_ button, THEN edit the text widget.

 * Thank you! I’ve done like you suggested and I saved my code but the text does
   not display in the sidebar. Is there something that else that I did not do?

 * I don’t know? This is my first blog so all this is new to me. I suppose you could.
   It is a new version of wordpress and a 2.7.1 compatible theme.

 * You are pressing Save Changes after dragging them over to the sidebar, right?

 * Try switching to the default or another WordPress theme and see if widgets work
   there.
