How to Use Widgets in Thematic
Thematic is a free WordPress theme framework developed by the Automattic team, the developer group behind the WordPress blog engine and CMS. Thematic is an ideal theme for beginning developers because it's essentially blank, other than a handful of widgetized sections. You can add widgets to any of the widgetized sections in the Thematic theme in the WordPress appearance menu.
