   I'm using WP Version 2.9.1

   I've installed the plugin, created a widget and entered the following string into my template <!--my_plugin_name-->. Of course the simple text that exists in my widget does not appear. Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

   Hi Chris.

   If you want to add a widget to the sidebar you should use the standard method provided in wordpress (Go to Appearance --> Widgets and add the widget to the sidebar manually).

   If you want the widget to show up in a theme you created by yourself (so that the widget should be a part of the theme) you should add the following statement into the coding of your sidebar:
   <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', '<!--MyFirstWidget-->'); ?>

   Adding <!--my_plugin_name--> only works if you post this into a posting.
