Okay, when I was on the dashboard the weather widget got selected and when
I did that VoiceOver said bring widget to front. The new widget isn't yet
available to select on the dashboard so far as I know. If I can copy it
to the dashboard or somehow alias it that might work. It was downloaded
tonight and the zip file was opened up so I have the zip file and the
widget sitting on my desktop now.

Ah, I see what you've done. I did the exact same thing. What you need to do
is press controll, voiceOver, shift and f2. This selects what is usually
called window choozer but renamed to wigit choozer in the dashboard. so move
down to the one you want and select it.
Speaking of wigits, how do you actually remove them if your sick of them?

Once a widget gets downloaded, how is it moved onto the dashboard so it
can be selected? I have a few on the dashboard and downloaded the bbc
widget but when I do f12 cn-op-f2 cn-op-f2 that's not one that's yet
available to be selected yet.
