Wordpress .php Editing - what the heck?

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would try my luck here as you're always big help!

I have a blog, www.stardietsecrets.com, its in wordpress2.2 and i think mainly php based. (not like i even know what php is! lol). Anyways I want to actually side bar on the left hand side (to insert more links, ads, etc.), however I have NO idea how to do this. I dont even know how to ad a feedburner to the existing sidebar!!

I know this is a heavy load, but if anyone could lend a helping hand, I would be more than happy and grateful.

Best regards

Under presentation, go to "widgets". If your theme supports the sidebar widget, you will be able to change things in there. If not, then I suggest you get a new theme which does support the sidebar widget - that's the future.

If you want to add more links, then you can just do so under "blogroll" in the admin area.

The link to the feed should be displayed if you add "meta" to the sidebar

If you use the dynamic sidebar, all you need to do is drag the things such as the categories, pages, meta and recent posts etc. in and thats it.

Nothing will be erased - you'll just be using the dynamic sidebar rather than the normal one.

Do you need to add "Feedburner". The RSS feed of your web site is here:

http://stardietsecrets.com/?feed=rss2

All people have to do is visit this and subscribe using their bookmarking tool, Live Bookmarks in Firefox and something similar in IE. Why do you need to use Feedburner?
