So many Google Widgets you have to search!
Writing about web page http://stjames.whitley.googlepages.com/childrens-activities
I have been having fun with widgets in Google’s Page Creator.
These can place themselves somewhere other than where you wanted but it is easy to tidy them up in HTML.
The simple swimming fish behind a picture has generated the most reaction with fish swimming in the sky in the Children’s Activities Page . If this bothers you move your mouse from side to side in the water but what’s wrong with flying fish.
The problem is that there are so many widgets that browsing might never reveal that perfect tool. Even searching for weather brings up dozens of US sites. I had to search for BBC weather to get the useful Coventry 3 day forecast on the Hall Bookings Page where the folk banqueting were Warwick SU’s own LARPS.
Oh and these widgets also work here at http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk ! I have added that BBC Coventry 3-day forecast on the left.
