Got a WP Theme. Now have a opt-in box "code" from Aweber. Haven't a clue how to get the box onto my site. Life should be easier than this. No wonder so many people give up wanting their own blog site to monetize. Can you help? Thank you! Hi, Very frustrated major newbie. Got a WP Theme. Now have a opt-in box “code” from Aweber.

If that is what you are interested in write to me using the contact form. @ Nathan Chapman

If by “button widget” you are referring to the slide down menu, it’s by using JavaScript. If that is what you are interested in write to me using the contact form.

I have been trying for quite some time, but to no avail. Do you think you could help, please?

It might be something wordpress does when two single quotes are put in as text. I went to add in elements for my own reference and realized that.

Copy-paste can be tricky, the idea is to have those elements, try using the code below:

< ?php
if (function_exists('register_sidebars'))
register_sidebars(1, array('before_widget' => ”,’after_widget’ => ”));
?>

Or, if you are making only one widget in your theme, use this:

< ?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>

Thanks so much for the tutorial. It's helped me understand widgetizing themes a lot more. I've got the widgets working, but for some reason I see , 'after_widget' => before every widget on the page. Is there a reason for this? I copied the code exactly how you showed it. Wow! Thanks so much for the tutorial. It’s helped me understand widgetizing themes a lot more.
