 * when you pull the text widget into the sidebar and click on the right hand tab,
   it will pop up an empty box into which you can add text, some kinds of code, 
   code for an image etc.
 * add what you want, close it, click save changes and then go to your front page
   to see if it worked.

 * vshare, if you go see my site [http://joscafe.com](http://joscafe.com) you will
   see on my side bar the “suggested reading” and “Juke Box Specials” .. those were
   put there by the text widgets. I just put the code or information to those links
   from my old sidebar.php, in the widget. Now I don’t have to redo it everytime
   I change themes …
