  Hi,

  I was wondering whether I can insert “categories” widget (or any other widget :)) into the left column of my blog – the widget area is in the footer by default. I am using the columnist theme.

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @bezego: It’s possible, but it cannot be done really well. To position something in a different area, you need to define a specific point. But a specific point wouldn’t do in this case, because the post titles have varying height (depending on the number of words). So what would look ok on one post would look too far from the title and date on another post, or show on top of the date on a post with a very long title. I suggest you forget the idea.
