Occasionally, a blog owner wants to add the Pages Index gadget to the blog, but just can't.
The first thing to check, when this happens, is the "Show pages as" option in the dashboard Pages display. Sometimes, you'll find "Don't show" selected. Other times, you'll find "Top tabs" - but the template may lack the code which houses the "Top tabs" gadget. This will be a problem for older templates, installed before the Pages index gadget was offered.
Try selecting "Side links" (or change from "Side links", to "Top tabs", and back to "Side links") - and see if the gadget shows up, in the sidebar. Each time you change the setting, remember to hit "Save arrangement". When viewing the blog, to verify success, you may need to clear cache, and restart the browser.
Once you get the gadget to show up in the sidebar - and if it matters - change the option to "Top tabs", and see if it shows up there. If not, you'll have three possible options.
I go to add it - and I see "Already Added" - but where is it?
