I was reading a post over at Tribe and the guy mentioned Yahoo widgets. I was curious and went to look. They are little ‘extras’ that you can put on your desktop. I decided to try them out. I have a weather forecast widget up for my in house weatherman Sean. I labeled it ‘Sean Hurricane C’ after our local weatherman Glenn ‘Hurricane Schwartz, whom we have met. There’s a little photo album, notepad, stick-up notes, etc.
Below are the memory button, the weather forecast and a clock that chimes every half hour. You get a bunch of them free in a little folder that’s stored in your documents area.

Hey Dianne, it looks very cool – but your page takes an age to load now….
How’re you doing?
Gee, Barbara, that’s my desktop and shouldn’t effect loading time. I guess I have too much info in my sidebar. I’ll probably take off items that seem to get error messages.
Given my recent PC problems, the lag time could be on my end, Dianne. Sorry for the false alarm!
