Huh. Generally, I scoff at the idea of hand-holding widgets for blogs. But, having peeked at the new WordPress Widgets, I actually get the sense that they will actually make tweaking things for this blog easier and more theme-agnostic. I can roll my own widgets, and not need to rejigger the main theme and associated templates every time I drop in an update. Swanky.
