WordPress widgets broken
A couple of users have reported problems with widgets in the new WP-Andreas01 theme for WordPress. The widget plugin is loaded, the two sidebars appear in the administration area and it is possible to drag and drop widgets to the sidebars - but the widgets does not appear on the site. This is a problem that was introduced in a recent update of the widget plugin. Widgets work perfectly with previous versions of the plugin, but if you have the most recent version of the plugin you will not be able to use widgets with WP-Andreas01 or any other theme where the sidebars are renamed and the default widgets are modified.
Ainslie Johnson (who did the widget coding in WP-Andreas01) has written an article about the problem, and his recommendation is to wait for a few days to see if Automattic will release an update to the plugin - or new instructions on how to customize the default widgets without breaking the feature. In any case, this is a temporary problem that will be fixed as soon as possible.

Please use english for comments, GUAGUAU. I don't understand spanish, and most visitors here don't understand it either.

CoolGoose why didnt you use that gazilion translators available to translate GUAGUA post? Works both ways!!
Theres this newtrend on the web "please comment in english", is there a warning here saying "english comments only"? I for one havent seen it!
If i had a website as popular as yours i would be happy with comments no matter what language because as Coolgoose pointed out theres lots of translaters outhere and if spotted something wrong(bad language) i would erase it.
Anyway just want to congratulate Andreas for this magnificent site, templates and themes, ive been visiting your site for a while now but this is my first post.
One quick question: is it possible to have the blinking arrows on andreas4 wordpress theme sidebars?

dandyna: Your comments are caught by Akismet as spam for some reason. But I keep on approving the comments as soon as I see them, so the script will hopefully soon understand that your comments are always welcome. Not even WordPress can be perfect at all times. ;)
Portugal: I have chosen to write this website in English, since it is my second language. I also understand some German and small bits of a few other languages too (such as Italian, French and Esperanto) and I don't mind one or a few comments in another language as long as I can make sure that it is a proper and valid comment. But I don't understand more than a few words of Spanish so when I got three comments on the same day, i felt that I did not want to manually every future comment just to see what it is about.
Since the content is posted in English I figure that anyone who understand the content well enough to comment it, should be able to write their comments in English. And in cases where visitors doesn't understand English, it is perfectly OK to use translators Bad English is OK too, because it is still easier to understand for me than Spanish. So there are no rules and no warning, just my wish to have relevant comments to the posts. =)

yeah let's talk everybody the Esperanto! :) Andreas, I start to feel like spam, I guess a lot of my comments are caught by akismet on other blogs as well for I can't see them appear on several places like BlogginPro or The Undersigned and such… and not everyone is enough patient to go through Akismet and pick my comments. So I am SPAM, I must accept my life-condition. Spam. Sad. Lol. Note: I also left you a comment about the theme, just in case. Love, by your -Spam- Dandyna … :'(
