Gidget Gadget Widget Wozzit?

Started doing my reading for the section on gadgets and widgets and at the end of my reading I was still a little confused about the difference between them. So with a little further investigation I found that a widget is a piece of reusable code that can be used on almost any website, whereas a gadget is proprietary and can only be used on certain sites. Confusing huh?!

I've used gadgets a little through iGoogle and found them to be mostly fun things like having a pet that you can feed or pat - fun for a couple of days. They don't usually last too long on my screen - that's some valuable real estate!

Now its time to have a play with some gadgets on my blog. Have a look and a play if appropriate. Next post will be about what gadgets I like. Exciting stuff...
