I’ve tried and tested the available widgets I can use in my sidebar. I tried different options to see the best options. At one point I added and configured all the sidebar widgets available! But I thought my sidebar looked to busy. So I decided to keep the widgets I think are jut right for my blog. I have an option to the amount of ‘text boxes’ which are basically empty text boxes for me to add coding. This sounds good but I’m still limited to what I can add. Prior to the sidear widgets I have got now, I had sonific songspot- a widget that plays songs.
Other sidebar widgets I included but i then decided to remove are:
• Meta (admin area login)
• RSS1 feed (additional option to add more feeds)
Things I added are:
• Drop down list for my categories and archive (only newly introduced)
• Box.net- a widget to upload files and share them easily (had to register and add code)
• Top clicks ( Didn’t need to configure)
• My stats ( Didn’t need to configure)
• Tag cloud (similar to zoom cloud, I selected various display options)
