 * I’m not sure how to modify the sidebar. I want to add my feedburner count and
   some ads. Usually I just edit sidebar.php and I’m fine, but I think this theme
   can’t do that because it’s widget ready or something, I’m not sure to be honest.
 * I’m using the fashionstyle theme, [http://www.wurped.com/blog](http://www.wurped.com/blog)
 * Can anyone help please? Thanks.

 * Then use the widgets. If the widgets are active (and since 2.2 they are built-
   in, so they always are active) – they override whatever you have in the sidebar.
   php file’s code.
    Put everything you want to appear in widgets: text, phpexec
   etc.

 * Thank you. I didn’t know what the “text” widget was for.

 * It seems that when using the widgets, I can add anything I want except things
   like divider bars or header bars. I can add them in the sidebar that contains
   the default content (which I simply edited the content) But I can’t get an image
   to show up, is there a place I could find code for adding an image to the l_sidebar.
   php or should I try and contact the ambient_glow designer?
    Thanks Tim

 * As Moshu explained you can’t add code to the sidebar AND use widgets – the widgets
   will override everything. If you’re using widgets add the image tag to the widget.
