 * I down loaded a widget called, simple real estate pack 4. It is in my down load
   folder as a zip. I see no way to up load it to my available wordpress widgets
   page. I done searches here, youtube and goggle still no info as to how to place
   on the wordpress page. Any help would be great thanks.

 * Thanks, Mod. I got it.
 * Just about drove me crazy though. A statement in the codex directions Like:
    “
   Download widgets through the plugin page” would have been helpful.
 * I guess I need to understand that widgets are plugins????????
    Thanks again,
