In reply to: Edit my themeMaking your theme widget-aware is not difficult at all. I see your theme is an older theme (pre-WordPress 2.0). First create a new file called functions.php and insert the following …
<?php if ( function_exists(’register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(); ?>Take care not to include any spaces before or after the opening/closing php tags. Upload the file to your theme’s folder. Next, open up sidebar.php and directly after the opening
<ul>tag insert the following …<?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>Scroll down further and and just before the closing
</ul>tag insert the following …<?php endif; ?>Be advised that most themes are designed such that the sidebar is contained within an unordered list. If your theme is not (and I suspect it isn’t) you’ll need to have a look at these instructions …

Scoll down to the heading –> My sidebar isn’t a list. What do I do?
Or, you can get an updated and widget-aware version of that theme here,

In reply to: wp installed, but can’t login, username rejectedWhen you installed WordPress it should have given you your password. It automatically generates one for you. It has nothing to do with your WordPress.COM blog. Have you changed your password since you installed WP?

In reply to: wp installed, but can’t login, username rejectedbut witch one is my password now?
Only you could know that – you chose it.
You could try the “Lost your password” link on the login page or reset the password in the database via phpMyAdmin.

In reply to: Permalink Structure brokenIn order to use fancy permalinks you need
mod_rewriteenabled. (an Apache module that rewrites permalinks on the fly) With XAMPP this is disabled by default but it’s easy to change.First, assuming you have XAMPP installed at root (which you should) navigate to C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Open the file httpd.conf in notepad and look for this line …
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
…and uncomment it so that it looks like …
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Next, within the same file I mentioned search for all instances of AllowOverride None and change it to AllowOverride All. Restart XAMPP and change your permalink structure within WordPress.

In reply to: Sub DomainYes but for clarification what you are talking about is a subdirectory and not a subdomain.
Subdirectory —> yoursite.com/blah
Subdomain —> blah.yoursite.comSee the Codex for Installing WordPress.
