 * I installed the new widgets plugin yesterday, and really like it. I have used
   it for my entire sidebar (kubrick theme). I use a random quote plugin and a countdown
   plugin, both of which entail using php in the sidebar. Neither of them work when
   I put the php in the text widgets. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just 
   a no-no?

 * That’s just a no-no. You should make a separate widget then, if you need extra
   PHP code.

 * Thank you. I thought that might be the case, but wanted to make sure it wasn’t
   just ‘operator error’ by me! :o)
