    You say you've "just installed" Wordpress widgets, which makes me think you are talking about a plug-in and not asking how to use regular Wordpress widgets.

    The only plug-in that comes to mind is the "widget logic" plug-in which allows you to choose which page individual widgets appear on.

    First you have to find the page number of the pages you want a widget to appear on. Do this by going to your list of pages and pointing your mouse at a page. DON'T Click. Look at the bottom left of your screen and you will see a string of text that looks something like yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.........78&action=. That number (78 in this case) is the page number.

    In the widget logic box in the widget you type is_page(78) to make the widget appear onlly on that page.

    If you look on youtube I'm sure you'll find lots of tutorials to help you.

    1. Visit WordPress.com and click the "Sign Up Now" link. Fill out the text fields, and then click "Sign up." When you're done, go back to WordPress.com and sign in with your new user name and password.

    2. Make a new post to help you become familiar with the editing screen and WordPress structure. "Posts" are articles on the blog itself, and each post is assigned a "Category" from the menu on the right side of the editing screen. If you want to start a new category, just click "+Add New Category" and give it a name in the box that appears. When you've written your post, click "Publish" on the top right, and then visit your blog to see how it looks.

    3. Start a new page. "Pages" are outside of the main blog and used for things like "About Me" and "Contact" pages. Click "Pages" and then "Add New." The editing screen is exactly the same as the posts area, with one difference -- pages are not given categories. Try writing an "about me" page, and then click "Publish" when you're done.

    4. Experiment with themes for your blog. Click "Appearance" > "Themes" > "Install Themes." You can search for themes here using the check boxes in the middle of the screen. When you find one you like, click "Install" > "Activate." Visit your blog to see how it looks.

    5. Go through the menus in the "Settings" section of the left menu bar. These help you customize the functionality of your blog. "General" allows you to change the site name and tagline, URL and your admin email address. "Writing" lets you customize the editing screens when you are writing your posts. "Reading" covers options regarding how your visitors see your content. "Discussion" gives options for blog comments, where your visitors can leave messages on your posts.

    6. Add widgets to the blog's sidebar. Click "Appearance" > "Widgets." On the right are the active widgets on your blog -- these can include things like a list of categories, recent posts and links to other sites. Drag a widget from the middle area to the bar on the right, and then visit your blog to view the changes.

    There's really nothing to learn. Drag and drop to sidebar or footer, or in the main theme if the theme allows it. Text widgets allow text and html.

    Best way to learn is to play around with them for a few minutes.
