With thousands of Widgets now available for download, it was time to do some reorganizing. To make it easier for you to find Widgets, our new menu bar has a few new features:

  • A list of featured Widgets
  • The Widget Gallery search bar
  • A list of twelve new and popular widgets in the categories below:
    • Top Rated
    • What's New?
    • Top Downloads
  • Two columns of subject categories

Menu Bar

Widget seekers and Widget authors can go to the left side of the menu bar to find or create Widgets. The right side gets you home and help, and the final item, What's a Widget, opens a balloon under the menu bar.

After choosing Create Widgets > Tools & Reference, you can step through the process by clicking the following links in the pages:

  • Submit Widgets
  • Promote Widgets Next
  • Create a Badge Next

Featured Widgets

Click the numbers and arrows to look through the featured widgets.

Widget Gallery search bar

This is located just under the featured Widgets is a search bar. We've also put a little one above the menu bar and to the right, because some users anticipate that a search tool will be there.

Twelve new and popular widgets

We only show two out of three categories at a time (Top Rated, What's New?, and Top Downloads) so click the arrows to browse through all twelve.

Two columns of subject categories

Click a category to navigate to a search results page for it.
