I'm am new at this and am trying to get a handle on the "lingo" ie: Widgets ?? I don't have a clue what that is. Where could I find a dictionary of Internet related terms that I could go to when I see something that is new to me. I think this would speed up my learning curve. Thanks.

Try wikipedia. A widget is like a ready-made program. They give you a little snippet of code (often JavaScript), you paste it in, and a little program runs on your site. * Bad Habits * A True "Lifestyle Business" (from Small Business Essentials) writing \| marketing \| web: NHG Consulting

I recommend checking out info on search engine optimization and content management systems over just paginating a website properly. Check these links out: webkew.blogspot.com <--- Marshall Brain's blog on generating traffic. Hes the entrepreneur who invented howStuffWorks.com.

Widgets to me in easy terms are different shaped banners. They are for advertising, look out for those that you can brand yourself with, that can be even better then. Lisa Lomas CMU Co-Founder/Trainer

Going back to the concern of widgets adding to the clutter of a page .... I think a widget should have a defined purpose before it becomes a part of a site, and should not be used just because it looks cool. Also, the widget should look like it's a part of the site.

Widgets can add a lot of great value and a viral component to drive visitors to your site. But! They must be valuable! Nobody cares about pure advertising. Make it functional and make it userful. Not long ago, widgets were something beyond the reach of the average web user. But now, with tools like SproutBuilder.com, (I love this site!) make creating very cool widgets a snap. Using video in your widgets is very powerful too. See an example, Small Business Video Question on my site). I am happy to help anybody that is interested.
