Any way to use the same widget more than once?

  I just switched over to the new “Grid Focus” theme, which is very cool. And one of its cool features is that it has two different “interior” sidebars (the one all the way to the right side is always the same) depending on whether you’re viewing the main page or a particular post. But one problem this creates is that you can’t use the same widget twice: hence “Recent Comments”, for example, can show up either on the main page, or alongside a post, but not in both. And this is drag. Did that make sense? Any way around it?

  Thanks …

  Well you’ve answered your question yourself: remove the Recent Comments widget from the left-side sidebars (“Primary”) and add it to the right-side (“Secondary-Shared”) one.

  Well, okay. :) But I’d like to have it in the interior sidebar, since I’ve already got a bunch of other stuff on the outside one.
