The color picker doesn't work!

It actually does work, just not as designed. Because of the enhanced drag/drop widget interface in WordPress 2.8, there is a JavaScript issue that I'm working on fixing. The color picker will work if you save the widget. Take the following steps to side step the problem:

1. Drag/drop the widget to the sidebar.
2. Save the widget.
3. Configure the widget.
4. Save the widget.

Widgets? What's a Widget?

Ok. If you don't see mention of widgets in the WordPress admin, you're not crazy. Most themes utilize the widgets feature of WordPress, but some don't. You'll need to either switch your theme, or find someone who can widgetize your theme for you. If you don't know any widgeteers, let us know and we'll do our best to help you out.
