Thanks – You triggered me to google search for the right terms as I couldn’t work out how to get the original code.
I downloaded the theme file again and copied the sidebar.php code from there. ALL GOOD.

Yes I want to keep the side bar and the content that is currently in it (except the posts of course). I was just trying to delete content that came with the theme. It gave the credits of the theme designer and a link to the wordpress rss feed. I must have deleted something else to have been able to move the posts into it. So I think the easiest thing would be to put the code back in and try again (after I copy the code to somewhere else, so I don’t lose it again).
