The aim of Education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, that to load the memory with thoughts of other men~Bill Beattie

2. Widget Finding

Widget Guide - Web Widgets

A web widget is a small piece of code that can be placed on a website or blog, such as embedding a video from YouTube.
The four most common places to use web widgets are:
·         Websites. Whether it is a personal website or a business website, widgets can enhance productivity or just add a little fun to your site. A common example of a widget on a website are ad blocks such as Google Ads.
·         Blogs. Widgets can give your blog a personalized feel, or provide advanced utility for your readers. A common example of a widget on a blog are those "Digg this" icons that will automatically submit blog posts to Digg.
·         Personalized Start Pages. Widgets can also add productivity and/or fun to your start page. A common example of a widget on a start page are RSS readers used to deliver the headlines from your favorite blog or news source such as Yahoo! News or CNN.
·         Social Networking Profiles. You can use widgets on a Social Network to tell more about yourself, such as listing out your favorite books, or have compile your favorite songs into a play list to play for visitors to your profile.
To use a web widget, you must copy the widget code to your website, blog, start page or social networking profile. Some widget galleries help out by automating this process for you.
