Where and how can I add a Recent Posts, Top Posts, Archives, and Categories Listings on Sidekick? Does this theme not allow for that sorting style?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @lauriep23,

Sidekick doesn’t include any widget areas, so it’s not possible to add the widgets that you listed to it.

If it’s important for you to include those widgets on your site, then you could consider a different theme from our repository. Lovecraft, Hemingway Rewritten, and Button are a few examples of themes that enable you to add widgets to the sidebar. They’re also similar to Sidekick’s minimal, blogging-centred design.

I also encourage you to have a browse about yourself using the filters at the top of the repository to narrow things down:

Let me know if that helps out or if you have any extra questions.
