@Felu: thanks dude! It's always rewarding to share good information.

 

With the newest release of WP 2.2 now, it's going to be even more simpler to deal with widgets. They already added widget ability to the WP core now! Whoo Hoo! If you need to know how to widgetize a theme, download 2.2 and view what they've done with the bundled Default and Classic theme. They already widgetized now as well.. Good luck with this though!

 

Thanks for the article and it is very helpful to my blog. Is there WIdget Ready theme for Blogger...?

 

@guia: Blogger has similar functionalities where you can add and arrange "Page Elements". Not sure how easy it is to convert a theme that is not enabled for that function though. A quick search on Blogger help yielded these results:
