WordPress Widgets - questions and suggestions

I'm pretty sure you can still hardcode things into your sidebar if you're using widgets (unless things have changed since 2.2.2), but why would you? You can pretty much put anything you like in a text widget; html, js and whatnot.

I use widgets on my last few blogs and I'm happy with the system. Beats digging around in the code.

The issue is in the way the templates sidebar is coded. This is the widgets code for my right sidebar, hence the (2)

Code:

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

        || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Most of the templates have everything between this statement. Move the stuff you want to code outside of the if/end and you can lay out your sidebar how you want.
