I upgraded my WordPress installation to 2.2, and suddenly find that the theme I'm using - Connections Reloaded - has widget support.
The slight flaw being that despite doing a comprehensive search in all the folders on the server, I can't find one called widgets in which new widgets ought to go. I've tried creating one in wp-content/plugins/widgets and putting a widget php file in there, but the widget system doesn't recognise the new widget.
So where do I put my new widgets?
Widgets are just plugins. You put them anywhere in the plugins directory and activate them like any other plugin.
And what did the install instructions/readme say about it?
(normally, they say install it in the plugins folder, don't they?)

Bloody hell, why didn't I think of that?
Someone ought to amend the codex pages on widgets to point out that simple fact!
Many thanks :)
