Week 7 - Web Widgets and Gadgets

I must admit, I had a little trouble posting the widget to my blog, but once I actually read through what I was supposed to do to attach it, it was super easy. And I really liked the variety of things that widgetbox offers. I picked food because I watch Food Network more than some people probably sleep! :)

But, I think these are very useful little tools to organize things and keep people up to date. On my home computer, I have a widget set so I get the time, weather, and headline news all on my desktop. It gets me caught up in the morning over my morning coffee, while I decide what to wear and then realize I'm running late! I think anything like that could be helpful to someone at work or at home. At work especially, if you subscribed to certain newspapers or things that could also help out with patron's inquiries.
