The first response post above (12-20-05, 00:07) tells me to go to wp-admin and find the sidebar template. The last response post above (12-20-05, 22:02)tells me that in that sidebar template, I should be able to find sections (Archives, Categories, etc.).

Using my cpanel File Manager, I find two different sidebar files:
(1) public_html/wp-admin/sidebar.php.
(2) public_html/wp-content/themes/scp_flex/sidebar.php.

No. 1 appears to be the file I was referred to (in wp-admin). However, No. 2 appears to have the “sections” I was referred to.

No. 1 contains a whole lot of unfathomable code, but no reference to Archives, or Links, for example.

No. 2 seems to contain the sections you mentioned. It contains this code {not the exact code, just enough to give you the idea}: <h2Links>,

; <h2> Archives,

; <h2> Categories,

; etc.

Into which one should I insert my login template tag? Why do I have two different sidebar files?

Please hang in there with me. I’m trying to learn — but this is a lot to grasp. And all I’m trying to do so far is log on!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yes, I am a novice at HTML, PHP and any other kind of web design software. But I’m determined to get it. I am working through the Codex. Is there any other book I could be reading to help me get up to speed?

I have found the Sidebar template. There are about 60 lines of code there. Can I drop that “loginout” line anywhere — or does it need to go in a certain place?

Looks like I need to study the entries re PHP and re Template Tags. Thanks for the help — and the good words.
