 * I am a complete newby with WordPress, and just installed it into my cPanel at
   BlueHost.com
 * I have the Default-Kubrick theme…
 * I uploaded Sidebar Widgets to the blog on my website, and got this fatal error:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in /home/
   discous0/public_html/blog/wp-includes/widgets.php:15) in /home/discous0/public_html/
   blog/wp-content/plugins/widgets.php on line 42
 * I looked at the file in my cPanel, but I’m a HTML whiz, and know NOTHING about
   php editing…
 * I also found the file in my WordPress Admin account with a place to edit the 
   code there…
 * Can someone tell me how to fix this?…TIA
