Working With Widgets

Widgets in WordPress

Widgets are part of the “secret sauce” that make a WordPress site yours. Dropping a text block, your latest tweets, and a menu into one of your site’s sidebars is one of the core features used for customizing the content of your WordPress site. With an aim to redesign the way widgets work in WordPress 3.8, I'm looking to you fine folks to find the biggest pain points and the best ideas. Please take a few minutes and answer the questions below. Thanks for your help!
