Does Backlight Wordpress add-on support the use of "widgetized" footers?
I am considering moving to a full page blog with my widgets in the footer. But I can't figure out how to do that. If I change the page template to a full page I lose the widget panel in WordPress. Am I missing something?
Or is this something I could easily do with custom php?
Thanks.

As is, widgets can only be placed in the tray sidebars. And you have to have at least one tray active for the widget areas to appear.
I suppose if you understand how to register widget areas you might be able to create footer widget areas.
You'd need to do this via a child theme.
You might need to use phplugins to add any necessary elements to the footer first.

At the moment I don't know how to do that. But it sounds like something interesting to explore when I have some spare time.
Might this be included in a future update? Matt? Ben?

I'm not planning any footer improvements for 1.2, but it's something I have in mind to look to for a future release.
