   I really, really like these themes! Beautiful work.

   I am a novice at WP and making alterations though. I have a question.
   I am currently using WP 2.5.1 and using Red Dragon, but was Experimenting with ZEN.
   When I went into the DESIGN/WIDGETS section it tells me that:
   "the theme you are currently using isn’t widget-aware, meaning that it has no sidebars that you are able to change."
   I realize I can alter the code in php, but is there some way I can "widgetize" the sidebar?

   Thanks for the quick response.
   I just got to try it out.
   I noticed that the font, etc wasn't the same, but no big deal I just copied the contents of style.css over from the previous zen.
   But, I did notice two things.
   1) Now I get an error when drilling down by "category" (author name). I get.
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <my directories>/wp-content/themes/zen/category.php on line 25
   Followed by error on same line but--/wp-content/themes/zen/sbar.php' for inclusion

   2) The "fading tooltips" no longer appear.

   I have yet to dig into the code to figure out why... Thanks for the help.

   1.
   open author php template:
   find this line:

   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sbar.php");?>
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/bar.php");?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   cut and paste this one instead:

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   2. tooltips are white now, please ensure by ftp uploading that all files are overwritten.

   That didn't quite work.
   BUT i was able to use the code you specified and update the category.php. Once I did that everything seemed to work just fine.
   I will do some more experimenting, but thanks.

   OH and one more thing.
   I'm using firefox 2.0.0.14
   On this REPLY to forum post page, the Post text box overlaps the "POST>>" but so the only thing I see is "st>>".

   Just letting you know. Thanks again.
