Login to WordPress.com

Click “My Dashboard” then “Appearance” then “Widgets”.

Say this is our current site:

<click image to enlarge>

And we wanted to add a “Calendar” to the left sidebar.

So drag “Calendar” with your mouse and drop it in the area just beneath the “Main Sidebar” which is the left sidebar. Then click “Save”.

Your site will now have a calendar on it.

Things that you can show on the sidebars are up only to your imagination. If standard defaults do not offer a widget that you’re for, you can use “Text” widget and insert your own codes within it. You can have as many “Text” widgets as you like.

Ok, that’s all for now.

Enjoy!
