 * I’m using Twenty Eleven theme. Under Appearances — Widgets, there are a very 
   limited number of widgets. How do I upload or add (not sure of the lingo) more
   widgets, such as the Twitter widget, to the theme so they are available. I know
   more Widgets exist but don’t know how to find them and make them available on
   my site. Thanks.

 * The additional Widgets are not theme specific and would be added by plugin and
   theme authors, so you would [look for a social media or twitter plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=twitter+widget)
   with widget support.
 * Look for well supported plugins, look at last updated, feedback and downloads.
