Ads on Sidebar & Color Scheme

How do I create the boxes for advertisement on the side bar? Where the other widgets are located. How do I change the color scheme from the categories bar to royal blue instead of the default blue that comes with the theme? My website is analyzedsports.com


How do I make the blog look identical to this example. I would like to offer the exact same examples shown on the side bar and in the bottom footer. On the side how do I create the space for the advertisement, newsletter, sponsors section, widget area, popular articles, and then the advertise space at the end? On the footer I just need to know how to do the About Us at the bottom left with the social media, update the address in contact us, and the get in touch option. What Widgets or code do I need to get this done? Last thing how do I make GIF'S work in the site?

Thanks for your time and patience.

 

Hello,

You are talking about widget area, Go to the
Appearance > Widgets
Drag widgets and drop them in the primary, secondary, first, second, third and fourth widget area, It will automatically display at your footer and sidebar.


For adding image and your content use "Text" widget, For adding images add code in text widget

e.g.

Code:

<img src="Enter Your Image Address Here"/>
