   Hi,

   Am looking to move my comment widget and my archives widgets to my footer.

   How would I go about this?

   Thanks

   well, when I did that, I just grabbed a theme that already had those elements in it....and copied the sections.

   Wish I could think of the theme I used..... I do know I had to add stuff to functions.php and to my footer area, then style everything in the css

   <div class="col1">
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer_left') ) : ?>
   <h3>Looking for something?</h3>
   <p>Use the form below to search the site:</p>
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
   <p>Still not finding what you're looking for? Drop a comment on a post or contact us so we can take care of it!</p>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   
   <div class="col2">
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer_middle') ) : ?>
   <h3>Visit our friends!</h3><p>A few highly recommended friends...</p><ul><?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?></ul>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   
   <div class="col3">
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer_right') ) : ?>
   <h3>Archives</h3><p>All entries, chronologically...</p><ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12'); ?> </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>

   added to my footer (inside of some divs)

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array(
            'name'=>'footer_left',
           'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
           'after_widget' => '</div>',
           'before_title' => '<h3>',
           'after_title' => '</h3>',
       ));
       register_sidebar(array(
   	'name'=>'footer_middle',
           'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
           'after_widget' => '</div>',
           'before_title' => '<h3>',
           'after_title' => '</h3>',
       ));
       register_sidebar(array(
   	'name'=>'footer_right',
           'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
           'after_widget' => '</div>',
           'before_title' => '<h3>',
           'after_title' => '</h3>',
       ));

   added to functions, I think that about did it? That gave me 3 column widget footer with search / links / archives, which could be swapped out for any widget just like standard sidebar stuff
