 * Hi,
    what enables widget on sidebar/footer is this piece of code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
         || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
       ```
   
 * It probably means little though, so you might want to [learn the whole thing up at Automattic](http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/).
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hmmm … alot of interst on this topic. Okay, I’ll bite, here’s an article on the
   topic you may find useful entitled [Add Widget-ready Sidebars to WordPress Footers](http://www.sueblimely.com/add-widget-ready-sidebars-to-wordpress-footers/).
 * And another article about the same entitled “[Howto: A Widget Ready Footer](http://outlookexpressed.com/2007/web-development/widget-ready-footer).”
 * I didn’t write them, but I sure am going to use them!
