Martin Jetpack

Yey, the Martin Jetpack is out. It looks like a lot of fun, maybe even more so than hang gliding.
Little is known about the capabilities of this flying machine, though sources familiar with its design say it can fly 100 times longer than previous jetpacks. Historically, 26 seconds has been the endurance of previous technology. This being the case, the Martin Jetpack could potentially be able to fly for as much as 40 minutes at a time on a single tank of gas.

Wordpress HACK - How to widgetize your theme!
Well, I had to widgetize my old theme today but it was pretty simple:
Make a file called functions.php in your theme directory. (if you don’t have one yet)
Add the following code and save the file:
if ( function_exists(’register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘before_widget’ => ”,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ‘‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘‘,
));
?>
Then add the following anywhere you want to add dynamic widgets:
<?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?><?php endif; ?>
You can actually put your existing code within the if loop OR you can also put it before or after.
Since I didn’t want to widgetize all existing stuff, I simply put it after all my existing code in my sidebar.
You can also create multiple dynamic widget locations simply by add numbers to the code like this:
<?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?><?php endif; ?>
