Widgets - What the?!

Did you know that widgets can make a big difference to where and how you share information?

There are many widgets out there. 

According to Wikipedia, a web widget is small application with limited functionality that can be installed and executed on a web page to support the end user. A widget has the role of a transient or auxiliary application, meaning that it just occupies a portion of a webpage and does something useful with information fetched from other websites. Other terms used to describe web widgets include: portlet, web part, gadget, badge, module, snippet and flake. Widgets are typically created in DHTML or Adobe Flash.

Widgets often take the form of on-screen devices such as clocks, event countdowns, auction-tickers, stock market tickers, flight arrival information, daily weather, phone books, calendars and pictures etc. 

Below is a  collection of widgets that you can add to your listing on My Community Directory. 

We have also developed a few My Community Directory widgets to embed on our partner organisation websites.
