[wp-testers] Widgets working with 3.0

I'm experiencing a problem with the AdSense widget I just installed yesterday.  After putting on RC2 I note that there is no "plug-ins area" anymore.  So first, how are we now supposed to upload and install new plug-ins or widgets?  There are many things that an experienced php/css/xml writer can do easily and manually, but it should enter the design ideas that the easier a program is for Joe Schmo to configure and set up, the more likely the program will be used.

So anyway here's the deal.  I saved my style.css from RC1 after I made manual alterations for resizing fonts and and adding color to my text area of the blog (that's still another unanswered question) since I figured I'd lose all my changes.  I saved the css from RC2 just in case....anyway everything is as I had it before except....the Adsense (or Ad_Max widget in this case) no longer appears in my widget list, there is no plug-in area to verify that it exists, yet I still have a blank box on my page.  Now, the widget wasn't working anyway (not receiving ads), just displaying a blank box.  I also know that there are issues with the widget, but why would the upgrade totally cause the widget to disappear?  I'll check further by installing the css file from 2 back in it and making all the changes again.  Any explanation of this would be greatly appreciated.  The backgrounds issue I leave for the next post.  Thanks
