Can you turn widgets off for one post?

You can copy the normal page from the templates and make it its own template and just take out the sidebar widget code. Then for each page you don’t want the widgetized sidebar, assign that template to it.

I just noticed this plugin today. It might be what you’re looking for:

James, that link doesnt work.

you can specify what pages each widget will be shown or hidden.
