I have been teaching myself how to code custom widgets in wordpress and I have most of it figured out except how I initialize my widget options. Currently, when you first activate my events list widget, php gives me errors because it can't find the options in the table, but if I click "save" once, it creates the options and I no longer have a problem.
My Question is: How do I get them into the options DB beforehand to avoid the error?
