 * Hi Ben,
 * Love the plugin, but I have found that the formatting, especially the title, 
   is gone when the widget is not already published elsewhere (by inserting. I discovered
   this when deactivating a widget. To correct this I created a “secret” sidebar
   where I publish the widgets, hoping the formatting would be back, but unfortunately
   it isn’t.
 * Can you check this out? I cannot set the widget title in any way to a title because
   there’s no classes or anything else left when published.
 * Hope you get what I mean? 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Tom

 * Hi tomdekok,
 * Thanks for your input!
 * Off the top of my head, I believe I made a deliberate decision not to wrap the
   widget with the formatting of the sidebar as the formatting is applied to the
   sidebar itself and not individual widgets, and I thought what may have been appropriate
   for a sidebar may not be when your inserting the widget in another location.
 * But I will look into it. Perhaps I could include a checkbox for the editor dialog
   box (Include formatting?) and a parameter for the functions and actions formatting
   =true|false…
 * Ill get back to you anyhow to confirm I can make those changes in the next few
   days…
