enquirer54,

nothing shows up will be because they haven't any kind of content to show it.

E.G.

If you want to show a notice in a block, you must to have a module for it installed, if you use News, it will create a first example post.

Right now, go to blocks, select anyone or all to show for EVERYBODY (admins/registered users/anonymous)

You must to see those blocks you marked before.

If not, go to groups & check permissions.

Really, i think you must to learn the way to work with this structure, understanding the differences between blocks&modules, the right way to do this.

That's my oppinion, hope it helps !

Regards
