The Widget site is different. How do I navigate in it now?

With 4,292 widgets and growing, it was time to do some re-organizing. We put in a new menu bar and the following areas:

  • Featured widgets
  • Widget Gallery search bar
  • Twelve widgets divided by three featured categories:
    • Top Rated
    • What's New?
    • Top Downloads
  • Two columns of subject categories

Menu Bar

Widget seekers as well as Widget makers 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. The balloon also has links—for example, on-site descriptions of the site and Widgets in general: Find out What's New and Tell Me More. To deflate the balloon, click the X in its top right corner.

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 > to look through the featured widgets. Try fruitlessly to resist clicking Get It!

Widget Gallery search bar

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 widgeteers expect to see a search tool there.

Twelve widgets divided by three featured categories

We only show two out of three categories at a time, so click < and > to browse between them.

Two columns of subject categories

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