What is widget and why do we need it? Part 1
Widget is like a mini web application that you can put on your blog and can be easyily edited or modyfied. It provides your readers some information, extra functions.
It is usualy available in so called ready-to-use formats which means it is user friendly and easy to use. It can take a lot of forms like pictures, statistics, random text, actually anything.
If you want some link shows in a widget you just “copy” that code and “embed” it in your widget.
We use widgets in blog because of the easy implentation and when you dont like the spot where it is you just move it somewhere else.
