Is it possible to display TEXT widget on "Select Posts" only?

    I have a strange (well, I think it really is weird) need.

    I want to display a specific text widget only on the home page and hide/avoid on all other pages/posts. Example- the widget should always show on the home page, regardless of the post but not on any other posts and pages. Is there a way?

    Write here option_value of the option_name "sidebars_widgets" of the table wp_options from the database and I will write how to do it.

    I will really need to understand this. I didn't expect it to be so technical intensive. So, let me check where I will get all these things first. But thanks for offering to help, Ruben.

    I'll check it up Ruben. Now I am having trouble with my firefox, it is crashing every now and then after downloading the latest release. I think I will getback to you in the morning. But thanks for all the trouble you are taking.

    Hi Ruben, it works really nice. I have just plugged it in and let me see it for a few days. But thanks to you. You seem to know a lot about WP, ah!
