 * I can’t drag or move my widgets, so I followed these steps to diagnose the javascript
   errors:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis)
 * I’m a novice, but was able to follow the instructions. This error is only on 
   this install of wordpress. I have other blogs (same hosting) that don’t experience
   this problem. Here’s what I discovered:
 * -“the browsers that you are experiencing the problem in”: **Chrome, FF, IE, Safari.
   I also tried it on a different laptop, but experienced the same.**
 * -“whether SCRIPT_DEBUG fixed the error or not
    the JavaScript error”: **Did not
   fix the error.**
 * -“the location of the error – both the file name and the line number”:
 * **widgets.php on multiple lines (see below)**
 * -“the context of the error – including the whole error stack will help developers”:
 * ** JQMIGRATE: Logging is active
    HTML1509: Unmatched end tag. widgets.php, line
   1149 character 25 HTML1508: Unmatched end tag. widgets.php, line 1151 character
   9 HTML1508: Unmatched end tag. widgets.php, line 1636 character 16 HTML1508: 
   Unmatched end tag. widgets.php, line 1647 character 1 HTML1508: Unmatched end
   tag. widgets.php, line 1673 character 24 JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated
 * Thanks in advance!
