My version of Blix has been Widget aware for quite a while now. It did break when 2.5 was released, but I fixed the problem and sent out updates.

All WordPress 2.3 themes on the site are now widget friendly.

I don’t know how I lived without widgets with so many of my sites that use WordPress, making menu changes is really easy now!

Have converted two WordPress themes to Widgets so far.

Talian (fixed really as there was widget code there, but didn’t all work after my AdSense/SEO changes).

Almost Spring: this theme completely lacked widget support, now every menu item can be moved.

I have to admit I can see why so many people have emailed me asking for the themes to be made widget friendly. In future I promise to listen a little harder as I thought widgets would be a waste of time, but really they are great for reorganizing a WordPress blogs menu very easily by a user with zero HTML skill.

I can do what widgets does via the code quite fast, but this is even faster (10 seconds to move every menu item) and allows the same theme to have many different setups (on the menu anyway) without touching the code.
