 * No matter what I do (use my child-theme or the original Inkblot-theme), the widgets
   do not work!
    I set the layout to three columns and configured the widgets in
   the admin panel. Then I wanted to place them in the customizer but it does not
   work. So I applied the theme (save and publish) and changed the layout back and
   forth … no luck!
 * The customizer keeps telling me there are no widgetized areas.
 * Any ideas are appreciated!

 * Ok, solved it myself.
    Maybe it’s because I don’t use english as default language.
   After chaning all lines in ./-/php/sidebars.php from
 * `'primary-sidebar' => array(__('Primary Sidebar', 'inkblot'), __('Used in both
   two and three-column layouts. You can change theme layout from the Appearance
   > Customize page.', 'inkblot')),`
 * to
 * `'primary-sidebar' => array('Primary Sidebar', __('Used in both two and three-
   column layouts. You can change theme layout from the Appearance > Customize page.','
   inkblot')),`
 * it suddenly worked.
 * Short: Remove the localization from array item [0].
 * Hope this helps somebody, too.
