Install and activate the plugin Display Widgets.

Go to your Widgets page in your dashboard. When you click on a widget you will see a few new options.

Show/Hide Widget has two options that are self explanatory, Hide on checked and Show on checked.

Under that you'll have a listing of pages, categories, and miscellaneous items that you can either check or uncheck. Yes it's that simple if you have it set as Hide on checked, everything you check, that widget will be hidden! If it's set as Show on checked, guess what? Everything you check will have that widget.

On thing to note is that for the theme twentyten, selecting Blog Page is equivalent to your homepage.

The widgets were working fine until I tried to add a page and needed to move some things around. Now I can't get everything back where I want them, even when I set the widgets as described above. Do you think I need to delete and re-create the widgets?

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. If you want you can PM me the details and I can take a look.

I didn't even know this was possible. Easy to do and can make a blog more efficient. Thanks.

Definitely, there's a lot of plugins out there that do pretty much anything you'd ever want.

Thanks so much for doing this tutorial! I went with "The Simple Way" because I'm still learning. I followed your instructions and I was able to put my widgets only on the pages I wanted them on. Thanks again!
