 * Hi there,
 * I’ve just begun coding a new theme, and I’ve never done this before. I need some
   insight into enabling my theme to support widgets. Most of the tutorials I’ve
   found are for adapting existing themes.
 * I’d like to know what I need to do to start it off in the beginning.
 * Thanks,
    Rebecca
