Giving Up

I can't figure out how to keep the comments and my side bar with my pictures and links to other blogs. It's either people are allowed to leave comments OR the links and my pictures stay on the side bar. That's right, I decided to keep the pictures and the links. I think it has something to do with a classic template or something - anyway I feel as though I have exhausted too much time trying to figure out how to keep them both and have decided to give up on the comments. I am sorry for that but if you want to leave a comment feel free to email me and I will reply back. Maybe some day soon I will fill up on patience again and try to have comments but right now I am too annoyed and don't want to deal with it any more!
