 * Hi,
 * What a fantastic plugin! Thank you for creating it!
 * I’m wondering how I would add a widget in a hook. Can this be done?

 * Thanks for the kind words!
 * To add a new widget area you’ll need some admin hooks that Simple Hooks doesn’t
   offer by default.
 * You could follow a tutorial to add the widget code to your theme’s functions.
   php file, though:
