2. hi Jack
   use the conditional is_user_logged_in() where you are showing the widget area using dynamic_sidebar to call/not call it.

   Otherwise, if you want to show hide a particular widget, the widget logic plugin will be a great help.

4. it's either off or on. If the user is logged in, it shows the widget. If the user isn't, then it hides it. I don't know php, but I think it's the ELSE that you're looking for.

   If user logged in..
   ELSE blah...

5. Or, you could also do it the other way around: if user is not logged in, show these widgets; otherwise, these widgets will show up in sidebar :

   <?php if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
   <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-visitor' ) ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   you would have to create another dynamic area in your functions.php like so

   register_sidebars( 2,
   	array(
   	'name' => 'sidebar',
   	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   	'after_widget' => '</div>',
   	'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
   	'after_title' => '</h2>'
   	)
   	array(
   	'name' => 'sidebar-visitor',
   	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   	'after_widget' => '</div>',
   	'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
   	'after_title' => '</h2>'
   	)
   );

7. @jack, my bad, there was duplication of sidebar functions. Should have asked what theme you're using and been more specific. Replace the register sidebars function I gave to this since you already have the other one

   register_sidebars( 1,
   	array(
   	'name' => 'sidebar-visitor',
   	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
           'after_widget' => '<div class="clear"></div></div></div>',
           'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
           'after_title' => '</h3><div class="widget-content">'
   	)
   );

   place the above just before /* Load the AJAX functions for the theme */ in your functions.php

8. I'm using cosmicbuddy theme,
   i'm still get error when i'm tried to paste your code:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY in /home/caretoc1/public_html/wp-content/themes/cosmicbuddy/functions.php on line 65

   I hope that my welcome widget in cosmicbuddy theme only visible by user does'nt login, did you know other simple way, because i don't know about php?
   did you know any conditional tags to make visible for user doesn't login but invisible for user login ( opposite from is_user_logged_in() )

   thank you very much Mercime

9. opposite of is_user_logged_in() = !is_user_logged_in()
   which is what I used in conditional statement above, notice the ! in second
