 * I am using Xeiro 1.1 Theme at [http://www.fromthedust.org](http://www.fromthedust.org).
 * I want to add “content boxes” to my sidebars. Ie. In addition to having “popular
   posts”, “recent comments”, “recent posts” etc I want to add other boxes such 
   as “currently reading” etc. I believe that it is set up so these are programmed
   into sidebar.php but I am unsure of two things.
 * First, is it possible to drag and drop new stuff into my sidebars?
 * Second, If it is not possible how would I go a/b coding in new stuff without 
   losing what I already have. (As I don’t have any background in programming code.)
   
   Thanks
