in case you haven't noticed, or if you've bee reading my blog through an RSS reader, there's a new link at the top of the page. After jon's commments about page loading time, i decided to invest some more time in my disconnected theme. It just so happened that the day after the initial release, Automattic released the widgets plugin for standalone wordpress installs. it's a fantastic plugin, i think. so, i took some more time to add support to the theme. that's the main reason i haven't posted about the theme until now.
It's pretty easy to add support, although i (naturally) made it hard for myself. I wanted to preserve the Inward/Outward structure of the sidebar, so i had to a) make two sidebars, with descriptive names, and b) modify the before and and after widget code so that widgets look nice. it would have been easier to just dump the default widgets in in place of the whole sidebar, but that's one of my main problems with the original connections, that each sidebar heading is too heavy.
Unfortunately, the blogroll widget is rather shortsighted, so i had to disable it. fortunately, since i suck at php, Matthew Holger released a links block widget that respects $before_widget and $before_title. so if you like the theme, and you like widgets, you'll need to use that.

No need to force it that way, you can just override the normal widget code’s problem functionality with your own code in your functions.php easily enough. Email me and I’ll tell you how to do it. It’s easy.
thanks for the help. i saw the override idea in the API. it’s kind of irrelavent which way i do it, since no other themes (AFAIK) use inward and outward, so everyone has to re-lay-out their widgets, so it doesn’t matter what the name is.
Looking sweet
OT: What plugins are you using?
all of the ones on this page, plus:
subscribe to comments, text filter suite (for acronyms), and wp audioscrobbler (i was going to include support, but it’s not valid xhtml)
I’m having problems viewing my About page. I created an about page in word press using the disconnected theme, but I can’t seem to change the url path when I create or edit the page I’ve written. If I go to view it on the main page linkg (an about link) it just shows a blank page. Am I creating the About Page incorrectly?
Also, I don’t want my home page to have a login link… how do I change that?

a lot of people are having that problem, the Page Template file is corrupt in version 1.1.1.
1.1.1r2 has a working page.php.

in
header.php, near the end of the file, look for:<?php wp_register('<li>','</li>'); ?> <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>deleting those will remove the register/site admin link as well as the login/logout link.
