Where Are The Widgets?
Wow – widgets seem to be taking over the world. It used to be that your website or blog just had content and maybe an advertisement but then widgets (little pieces of html code) starting popping up to personalize your site and provide continually changing content.
If you use Blogger or Typepad as your blog platform, they provide a link to several choices of widget code. There is a nice assortment – not overwhelming, but a sampling of a few key areas that might prove interesting.
But then I had a client who expressed an interest in having a recipe widget. So I did what we all do when we want to find something: I googled it. (Don't you love how "google" has become a verb?)
Imagine my surprise – widgets available are limited only by our imagination!
Check out Widgetbox – a great assortment of widgets available to download (or is it upload) to your blog or site.
It's a wild, wonderful widget world!
