    Widgets - a great functionality of WordPress. It is very helpful for beginners to play with there blog's sidebars but professionals don't think it is code because codes not work properly there.

    What do you think??

    Couldn't live without widgets, and yes you can still add code to your side bars, as well as HTML, in your text widgets.

    I love using widgets on my blog. Makes everything so easy. Just like ^^^ said, you can add HTML in there and everything. I LOVE THEM.

    Widgets have been a royal pain for me with certain themes, so I have stayed away from them. If you find a theme that you like and it behaves well with widgets, then by all means use them.
