WordPress Widgets
WordPress Widgets are blocks of content that you can add to your site’s sidebars, footers, and other areas. From adding a sub page sidebar to your pages to adding custom links Widgets are a very useful tool in WordPress.
Please click on the below for tutorial videos on how to use Widgets.
Archives

Enter /Archives or click on the Add Block Button + to add this block.
