HELP! Newswire Widgets overlapping content

Okay, I can’t possibly get the Home Without Slider template to do what I want. Basically, the twitter widget that I need to put on the right side of the page is showing up on top of the content, hiding previous blog posts. Below is my home-without-slider.php

<?php /*Template Name: Home without Slider*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”clearfix”>

<div id=”main” class=”no-slider clearfix” role=”main”>

<?php

$paged = get_query_var(‘page’);
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query(‘post_type=post&paged=’ . $paged);

?>

<?php if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : ?>

<div id=”grid-wrap-2″ class=”clearfix”>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

<div class=”grid-box”>
<?php
/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() );

?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<div id=”sidebar” class=”widget-area-wrap”>
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-home’ ) ) : ?>

<aside id=”categories” class=”widget”>
<div class=”widget-title”><?php _e( ‘Categories’, ‘newswire’ ); ?></div>

<?php wp_list_categories( array(
‘title_li’ => ”,
‘hierarchical’ => 1
) ); ?>

</aside>

<aside id=”recent-posts” class=”widget”>
<div class=”widget-title”><?php _e( ‘Latest Posts’, ‘newswire’ ); ?></div>

<?php
$args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ’10’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
if ($recent[“post_title”] == ”) {
$recent[“post_title”] = __(‘Untitled’, ‘newswire’);
}
echo ‘

• ‘ . $recent[“post_title”] .’

‘;
}
?>

</aside>

<aside id=”archives” class=”widget”>
<div class=”widget-title”><?php _e( ‘Archives’, ‘newswire’ ); ?></div>

<?php wp_get_archives( array( ‘type’ => ‘monthly’ ) ); ?>

</aside>

<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
</div>
<div class=”gutter-sizer”></div>
</div>
<?php if (function_exists(“newswire_pagination”)) {
newswire_pagination();
} elseif (function_exists(“newswire_content_nav”)) {
newswire_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ );
}?>

<?php else : ?>

<article id=”post-0″ class=”post no-results not-found”>
<header class=”entry-header”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php _e( ‘Nothing Found’, ‘newswire’ ); ?></h1>
</header><!– .entry-header –>

<div class=”entry-content post-content”>
<p><?php _e( ‘It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.’, ‘newswire’ ); ?></p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
</article><!– #post-0 –>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

</div> <!– end #main –>

</div> <!– end #content –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Yes, I have created my own template trying to get rid of the widget even populating. There are default widgets that show up even if you have nothing. In addition, just space-barring the text in a text widget makes an ugly grey box appear.

I would LOVE for the content to stay to the left of the widget so I can show the widget, but I am more than willing to have no widgets at all, but everything I have tried has resulted in error. Maybe one of you can help me with this.

Thanks.
