Sidebar activation

How do I set up the Sidebar so that by clicking on an item the user will be led to the topics? Sorry, I'm a real novice! I edited the Sidebar with a list of potential places to go for pages, etc. The list appears on the Front Page but nothing happens when I click to open it. I'm assuming that I would open it to then add pages that I want stored there.

At one point in my messing around, I did have the Sidebar titles "linked" and in one case, I added a page that I had completed but to the wrong Sidebar title. I could not remove it and then could not replicate whatever I did. Beginners confusion!
 
sad I’m frustrated because I'm eager to use the wiki I'm setting up!
Inappropriate?
