Thank you for your reply. It helped a lot.
After reading through your explanations, I found out what I was doing wrong. I wasn’t dragging the widgets inside the gray rectangle called SIDEBAR 1. Once I did that everything was fine.
Now my next question
My side bar is something like this:
home
privacy
contact
sitemap
product 1
product 2
product 3
How do I (or can I) split these up and add these headings to make it look like this:
MAIN
home
privacy
contact
sitemap
PRODUCTS
product 1
product 2
product 3
Thanks again for your help
