You can view the blog at www.livecamblog.nudycam.com any suggestions I would like to add only live cam & chat sponsors to this blog?

Please advise thanks.

first thing you need to do is go to the FTP location of those files, which varies from user to user, but after you get into the wordpress directory is located at

/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME

CHMOD all those files to 777

now, go into your wordpress control panel and to PRESENTATION>THEME EDITOR

now go to Sidebar

there you will find all your sidebars

now look for things like

those are your sidebar contents, and each one will be about the same and a good theme will have them seperated for you, like this:

YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR CONTENT HERE, before or after the sidebar item

make sure it is the right sized banner or item, because if not, it will fuck up the formatting of the blog

Yes I am in a big mess I need help please go to my blog www.livecamblog.nudycam.com and check out the error message on a function or something on top of my header I thought it was that I edited the permissions on my files to 777 so I can edit the pages so after I edited I just put back the the pages to 666 but the error is still there I think one page was set to 664 but do not remember help.

So how do I go about it do I have to delete the whole thing and how do I do it is it done from the blogs admin area I did not see any way of deleting stuff do I have to go to my cpanel in my host and delete the whole thing and re-install the whole thing?
