Just a note for future reference - when you first create a blog it comes with a set of default widgets. These remain in your sidebar until you add a widget of your own, at which point this widget replaces the defaults.

If you want to use any of the widgets which appear by default you can just drag them over to your sidebar from Appearance > Widgets in your dashboard.

So I just had to drag all my old widgets back in place from the 'disabled widget' area, and all is well. Hope I haven't wasted anyone's time, and perhaps this will help someone down the road..

I've also tried to drag a new one in, and it does not appear after i've dropped it. Wondering if this might be related to the recent Dashboard upgrade? I'm using the Black-Letterhead theme- perhaps and issue with that? I'll continue messing with it, but haven't seen anything in the forums yet and just hoping you might have an idea. Many thanks!
