  This is going to sound awfully dense, but how do I actually put stuff in the text widget? (I have the code for a banner)

  Aah… It’s that the widget itself isn’t “opening” like it should. WTF?

  What browser and version are you using and what operating system?

  I’m having the same problem. Text box disappears when I click to edit it. I’m using IE7.

  Right now IE6 and 7 and WordPress are not playing nicely regarding widgets. I am sure staff will get it worked out, but in the meantime, my suggestion is to download and use Firefox. Once the IE issues are worked out, you can if you wish uninstall FF and go back to IE.

  A work around for IE users :)

  While the text widget is still on the left side, **right click** on it instead, it will open to edit. Place your code in and then save it.

  The saved text widget will then go to the bottom of your widgets currently in use. Now you can move it to where you wish it to be.

  Save before you leave the screen. This will work in IE7 I know for certain.
