WordPress upgrade adventures

Just updated the site to 2.3.1, a bugfix release. In the process, though I did backup the db, I managed to wipe out both my plugin and theme directories. So I went looking for an AdSense plugin, and found out about WP widgets. I could basically just make my own damn AdSense widget, which I did. However, when I reinstalled the simpla theme, I discovered that it isn’t widget-aware, but then also discovered that someone else had already made a widgeted version. So everything is pretty much as it was, and more easily maintained too, I’m hoping.
