 * How do I determine which themes are compatible with the Widget plug-in? I’m using
   a modified version of Tropical Breeze and that one does not seem to display the
   widget options while choosing the kubrick theme does, so I know it’s installed
   right.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * The Widgets concept is still pretty new. Fortunately, a bit of sidebar “hacking”
   usually gets ’em going right away. That being said, here’s a codex article that
   lists a few and also links to more widget info:

 * I could have sworn I saw a tool that helps you “widgetize” your current theme
   but I failed to bookmark it and can’t find it now (nor remember the exact name).
   Has anyone else seen this?

 * Forget about “tools”, it’s really easy to widgetize a theme.

 * Question about widgetizing a current theme. I use Ipact 2.0 by Abelgraphics, 
   I have highly modified my sidebar and am happy with the site…but would like to
   add widgets.
 * I have contacted Abelgraphics to see if he could widgetize the theme for me…but
   he is too busy with “paid” projects.
 * I have also tried the tutorial by Automattic, but I only get a parse errorr (
   unexpected end in line 113).
 * Is there anyone who is willing to look at this theme and figure out what it takes
   to widgetize it?
 * Here is my sidebar code incase you need to look at it:

 * Aha, that’s the page! I have already widgetized a couple of themes manually and
   it is pretty easy actually. Thanks!
