 * Hey, I’m looking to add to my sidebar. Coming from Blogger, one of the (very 
   few) simple things to do is add to that thing. Am I missing something–is there
   an admin function to just add a “widget” there? Or is it theme-dependant?
 * Specifically, I want to add a section where I can list my Feedburner RSS and 
   email subscriptions.
 * Sorry this is so simple…I’m new to WordPress, but loving moving my blog from 
   Blogger!!!
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Depends actually if you have the widgets plugin installed or not. If you don’t,
   it’s just a matter of editing your theme’s sidebar.php and place the code that
   you want in there. If you do have widgets, I’d just add in the code that you 
   want into a text widget and place it into your sidebar.
 * Hope this helps,
