Looks like you got it.

Something's up though as the main body of the page is below the sidebar. Here's a Valildation of the page.

i take it i have to fix the errors it has listed

Look at this within your post.

Custom template design using css<p><p></a></li>

The two closing tags without opening ones is probably what's causing it. :)

Short version: the template you are using does not have the call for the sidebar in it. It's a slightly modified Kubrick, and most of the templates off the index just don't have the sidebar in 'em.

Look at the main index template file. There should be a get_sidebar call in there somewhere. Copy that line. Find the wp-newblog file. Plunk that "get_sidebar line in it, with all the stuff inside the < >. (If I paste it here, the forum will eat it.)

Also: in the wp-newblog file, change the div class=widecolumn to div class=narrow column. (it may be div id=, either way...)

actually, what's going on is that the single.php does not call the sidebar function.
Just open your index.php, copy the get sidebar line (at the bottom of the page), and paste it right above the get footer line in single.php
