 * A request for you theme designers. Could you please include the Widgets plugin
   with your themes? Be real helpful. As a matter of fact, try incorporating Widgets
   into the theme. With the option to disable/enable (if that can be implemented)
   as the user prefers.

 * Widgets are essentially drag’n’drop sidebar elements.
    You drag them over, place
   in the order you want then configure if that is needed.
 * No editing of sidebar 🙂
 * If you have a wordpress.com account, login and try them.

 * Have you heard about [Canvas](http://freshpursuits.com/canvas/)? The idea is 
   to widgetize all the blog elements – headers, footers, posts, pages, archives,
   etc. The developers apparently want to do it entirely in CSS, avoiding PHP customizations.
 * The site has been dugg over 1,000 times. The product is still in development.
   Is this competition for widgets?
