Hi Jeff,

I love the text widget as well! It is very flexible and can be used for multiple purposes such as RSS subscription and so on. Looking forward to more awesome posts from you!

Regards,
Edmund Yeo

Recently upgraded to 3.0, although I don’t need many of the new features, it seems to contain quite alot of security fixes. Nice new dashboard and so far I didn’t find any plugins having problems with it…let’s keep fingers crossed.

Am I correct? After reading this and a bunch of other articles on this site and somewhere else, I think wordpress is comming out with a lot of updates these months..

I know that they need to keep up-to-date, but some of the updates are crappy!

Thanks for sharing. This is a super useful post as I’ve been trying to explore wp widgets a bit more.

wordpress version 2.8 is really wonderful.yes you can add and move sidebar widgets by simple drag and drop.This is especially useful for text widgets.

WordPress 2.8 is really outstanding. Now we can remove a sidebar widget but keep its settings. This is especially useful for text widgets. Thank you.

I simply love the 2.8+ upgrades! Heres why:

Prior to 2.8 (drag and drop widgets)I had some custom plugins that created some sidebar widget options. For some reason, they would work on some WP themes, and not on others.

When I upgraded to 2.8, voila! It returned the widget control back to me.

i love wordpress and never thought of using another platform, and with all the things i’m learning on this website it will remain the only platform i’m gonna use…

I definitely like where Word Press is going with version 2.8. A much more user friendly dashboard for sure.

If anyone knows of a widget or plug in that will allow me to easily place a link with Anchor text in the header of my Word Press Blog, please let me know.

Many thanks!
