   I've been looking around and all I see are widgets, widgets, widgets. I can't use widgets, because I've hardcoded and customized my sidebar. Anyone know of a plugin whereby I can load YouTube, Dailymotion, etc. featured videos into my sidebar? Is there any way I can call the video widget function by using PHP?

   Hi,

   You can always widgetise your sidebar even if you hardcoded and customized it. I assume that your sidebar is in a file called sidebar.php
   You can always add the dynamic sidebar function anywhere you want in sidebar.php There is no need to delete any HTML, Javascript or PHP codes you added in sidebar.php Just remember to put "<?php" and "?>" to wrap the dynamic sidebar function

   My sidebars on my site at denzeldesigns.com are coded this way.

   Regards.
