Widgets

I know that a lot of us like to use those fancy tools that can make or create gif pix, counters, clocks, stickers, and stuff like that.  Well, there are the so called widgets that you can find in a lot of sites like Stickiwidgets.com, Widgetbox.com, and a few other links or sites.

What are web widgets?

Web widgets are portable chunks of the Web that can be easily embedded into a webpage. Use them to get news, information, entertainment, decoration, or whatever else you can think of for your blog, profile page, personal home page, or web site.

If you know of any, please share them with the readers and I’m sure that they will be much appreciated and will be put to use on their profiles or websites.

Here is a few examples of the places where you can find widgets that you might be interested in:
