 * In the new WP 2.2 how do I turn on sidebar widgets? In previous WordPresses I
   managed the widgets under the “Presentation” tab and now I can’t find widgets
   anywhere. I’ve tried the other themes too including the default.

 * Does the theme(s) support widgets? That might be why they’re not showing up.
 * Are the widgets listed on the plugins plage? if so, are they turned on?

 * Widgets are not on the plugin page. I thought the widget plugin wasn’t necessary
   in the new wordpress? I’ll install it and try it then.

 * Hmmm… I am afraid it’s a misunderstanding 🙂
    Most likely drmike referred to 
   the widgets themselves – not to the thing called “Sidebar Widgets”, aka “widgets
   plugin”.
