 * I’ve installed all the right plugins and I now have a dynamic sidebar. It seems
   to work, except that I am unable to customize the widgets. I thought I read you
   were supposed to be able to do that. Any ideas what’s wrong?

 * What exactly is it that you’re unable to do? Define “customize” in that context.

 * Well, every box has this tiny grey square. You should be able to click on it 
   to change the contents of the box, but that just doesn’t work.

 * Remove any admin themes (like Tiger Style Admin) if you have them.
 * You can also try moving the `scriptaculous/` directory that comes with Sidebar
   Widgets into the `wp-includes/js` folder.

 * I don’t have any admin themes.
    I tried moving the scriptaculous/ directory, 
   but that didn’t change anything.

 * Well, those are the most common problems.
 * 1) Have the latest widgets.php? [http://svn.wp-plugins.org/widgets/trunk](http://svn.wp-plugins.org/widgets/trunk)
 * 2) Disable other plugins, test again?

 * I disabled the “currently reading” widget and plugin and that did the trick. 
   Thanks.
