    I’m trying to add a 2nd sidebar. I followed all the instructions to install the widget and add it as a second sidebar. But when I save it, it doesn’t show on the web site.

    My theme is Twenty Thirteen.

    I’m pretty clueless about wordpress, but if there’s a file in there that I need to change, I can do that. I’m not a stranger to CSS and html.

    What do you mean second sidebar? The Twenty Thirteen theme registers two sidebars: primary and secondary.

    What instructions did you follow?

    I followed the instructions for the Image Widget.

    When the site was first created it had 2 sidebars. I got rid of one (the one that shows blog posts) because I got rid of the blog. Now I want to have a 2nd sidebar again with an image that links to another site. I filled in the 2nd sidebar info and saved it, but it’s not showing up.

    Do you have this in sidebar.php?

    <?php
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ) ) : ?>
	<div id="tertiary" class="sidebar-container" role="complementary">
		<div class="sidebar-inner">
			<div class="widget-area">
				<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ); ?>
			</div><!-- .widget-area -->
		</div><!-- .sidebar-inner -->
	</div><!-- #tertiary -->
<?php endif; ?>

    And this should be in your functions.php

    register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => __( 'Secondary Widget Area', 'twentythirteen' ),
		'id'            => 'sidebar-2',
		'description'   => __( 'Appears on right sidebar.', 'twentythirteen' ),
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget'  => '</aside>',
		'before_title'  => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title'   => '</h3>',
	) );
