CHANGE THEME
Theme, template or simply put, your blog design are like the clothes your blog wears. By default, you get a plain blue and white page. You can easily change to a theme you like. Just go to Appearance > Themes and pick what you like. You click the theme you think looks good, it will ask you if you want to change. Click yes and you get a new look. You can change the Theme as often as you like. There are plenty to choose from.
HOW TO ADD THINGS TO SIDEBAR?
WordPress makes it really easy to add things. Under Appearance, there is a choice call Widgets. (on your left side bar on the Dashboard).
When you click Widgets, it shows you a long list of things. If your blog has only one sidebar, then, what you need to do is to click on the Add for things like Recent Posts (titles), Recent comments, Links or etc and it will be added into your sidebar.
Think of Widgets as tiny drawers while your blog sidebar (the one people see online, not to be confused with the sidebar on your Dashboard) is the big, tall cabinet. So, all your things to be shown online are stored in these widgets.
You can change your blog theme but the Widgets remain there.
Do you notice that there is a title call Text in your list of Widgets? Text will add a box where you can copy anything like some short description, your photo, some Facebook codes or whatever into your Sidebar.
