 * Hi
 * I’ve got a suggestion for the text widgets in the sidebar.
 * Any chance that you could add an extra field in the configure options allowing
   an identification label to be added that only shows up in /presentation/widgets
   so instead of having text 1, text 2 etc we can see at a glance which widget we
   want to edit.
 * For example, a personal wordpress page about the family dogs. A text widget gets
   added to the sidebar linking to a photo of one of the dogs whose name happens
   to be Rover (I know, really original LOL) In the customised sidebar widgets under
   presentation we could label it ‘photo of Rover’ instead of say ‘text 2’… but 
   it wouldn’t be visible on the actual webpage.
 * I think doing this would make it simpler when it comes to editing the widgets.
 * Sincerely
 * Julia

 * Perhaps adding the title of the widget to the Text name section would be useful.
   Like instead of “Text 1” it shows “Text (About Me)” for your “About Me” section.
 * Adding a whole other text field just for that display seems like a lot of extra
   work there.
