What is a widget, and why do I want one?

A “widget” is a snippet of portable code that can be incorporated into a web page. These chunks of code cause a little item which is entertaining and/or useful to us to appear on the web page it is incorporated into. Some examples of widgets are weather widgets, mini-game widgets, news widgets, calculator widgets, even widgets that convert currency or units of measurement! On Eons, you can include a widget on your profile or My Eons page. To include a widget on your profile or your My Eons page, click the Add a widget link located in yellow box.
