 * Have just set up a wordpress self hosted blog. before that trying to learn things
   are wordpress.com blog. I’m using neo sapiense theme. Under Presentation i do
   have a thing called Widget but when clicked get this msg:
    “No Sidebars Defined—
   You are seeing this message because the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-
   aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change. For information
   on making your theme widget-aware, please follow these instructions.”

 * Nope. They will delete long code.
    You can try posting your sidebar.php (not 
   css) to [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca) and post
   back the address.
 * Why don’t you just pick a theme that is widgets ready???
