 * Hello,
 * I’m assuming I have the latest version of WordPress since I just downloaded it
   a month ago, but maybe not. I’m new to this, but a colleague of mine has a different
   default theme than me, that has widgets, and i’m trying to figure out why I don’t
   have widgets too.
 * My default theme is: WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann
    The default 
   WordPress theme based on the famous Kubrick.
 * She tells me that hers says, “The default WordPress theme complete with customizable
   header and widgits based on the famous Kubrick.
 * Does she have a different version of WordPress than I? How do I get widgets??

 * Widget support is built-in with WordPress 2.3. Check the bottom of your admin
   pages for the version number.
 * If you have version 2.3 or later, go to “Presentation” then “Widgets”
 * You can get more widgets at [http://widgets.wordpress.com/](http://widgets.wordpress.com/)

 * Thanks! It looks like I have version 2.1. Can I easily upgrade without losing
   all of my past posts and header, etc.?

 * Yes.
 * Actually… a new spanking major upgrade (2.5) came out a few days ago, and honestly
   speaking, the support forums are abuzz concerning installation issues.
 * The upgrade instructions are here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress).
 * An older yet stable version is 2.3.3 (which has the same admin screens as 2.1),
   found at the middle of this page [http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/](http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/).
   The upgrade instructions are the same.
