 * First of all, I’m brand new to all of this so forgive me if it’s a silly question.
   I was using wordpress.com prior to this, so I’m used to certain things. There
   aren’t nearly as many widgets as I’m used to. Is this something controlled by
   the theme or otherwise? Same with plugins, if I want sharing plugins, that’s 
   unrelated to theme correct?
 * Thank you!

 * Some themes include widgets, but Spun does not. Most widgets are plugins, which
   are separate from the theme.
 * I’d recommend installing [Jetpack](http://jetpack.me) — it includes a lot of 
   the features available to WordPress.com users, but for self-hosted sites.

 * Thank you! I wound up doing just that.
