 * Dear Sirs:
 * I have been trying to contact “addthis” on my own to no avail, so I am hoping
   someone will chime in here.
 * I added an addthis bookmark widget to the single post page with no problem, but
   when trying it on the sidebar I get multiple validation errors there ([http://www.waggleweight.com/blog](http://www.waggleweight.com/blog)).
 * If I “widgetize” my sidebar and use the addthis sidebar plugin, I do validate
   okay, but then other work needs to be performed that I am not sure how to do,
   such as changing a widget name and finding a way to get my mailto contact information
   on the sidebar, which the newer wordpress versions do not allow in the blogroll“
   link” section (just installed 2.2.2).
 * Any advice for either scenario would be appreciated. Thank you sincerely for 
   your time.

 * I have at least found the answer to getting my AddThis widgets to validate when
   installing them directly to my sidebar, so this is no longer an issue. I still
   thank you for all your help in the past and for that in the future, which I know
   I will eventually need again.
