 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to setup WordPress, so that on installation there is a default text
   widget with (for example) an opt in box with the following code:
 *     ```
       <div class="yellowbox">
   
       <div class="roundedcornr_content_417160-y">
   
       <h3 style="color:red; padding-top:5px;">Sign Up for Your FREE News, Views and Tips from Me</h3>
   
       <form class="clear"><table width="100%" border="0" align="center"><tr><td>Your Name:&nbsp</td><td><input type="text" width="8" name="Name" /></td></tr>
   
       <tr><td>Your Email:&nbsp</td><td><input type="text" width="5" name="Email" /></td></tr>
   
       </table>                                             
   
       <div style='text-align:center;'><input style="margin-top:8px; padding: 2px 8px; font-weight: bold; text-align:center;" type="submit" value="Sign Me Up >>" /></div>
   
       </form>
   
       <div style="font-size:9px; text-align:center; padding-top:10px;">I protect your privacy. <a href="/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a></div>
   
       </div>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * After the text widget, I’d like to also initialise the “Pages” widget.
 * I’d like to edit WordPress in a way so that there is no need to manually create
   these widgets, by dragging and dropping them into the “Sidebar” section of the
   widget editor.
 * Any ideas how I can achieve this?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Cheers,
 * Reece.
