 * I’m having major trouble getting my theme widget ready. It’s basically the tutorial
   theme from wpdesigner.com.
 * This is what shows up in the sidebar when I go to load the blog:
 *     ```

       ```
   
 * Here is my sidebar.php code:
 *     ```
       <div class="sidebar">
       		<ul>
       <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
               || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
       			<li id="search">
       			<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
       			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h3>Navigate</h3>'); ?>
       			<li>
       			<h3><?php_e('Categories'); ?></h3>
       				<ul>
       				<?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1'); ?>
       				</ul>
       			</li>
       			<li><h3><?php_e('Archives'); ?></h3>
       				<ul>
       				<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
       				</ul>
       			</li>
       			<?php get_links_list(); ?>
       			<li><h3><?php_e('Meta'); ?></h3>
       				<ul>
       				<?php wp_register(); ?>
       					<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
       				<?php wp_meta(); ?>
       				</ul>
       			</li>
       		<?php endif; ?>
       		</ul>
       	</div>
       ```
   
 * Here is my functions.php code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
           register_sidebar();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * What needs fixing?
