16 Widget Sites For Your Blog

I have done some research on widget sites and have come up with a list of those that I think provide the most variety and choice. They are in alphabetical order rather than bypreference.

• Google Gadgets for your Website
• GoodWidgets
  
• Labpixies
• MuseStorm
• Neoworks
• serverboy.net software
• Sexy Widget
• Slide
• Snipperoo
• SpringWidgets
• StickiWidgets
• Widgets Lab
• Widgetoko

• Widgipedia
• Your Minis

I have created a custom search which will search all of these sites for any word.

Archive Calendar - New Blogger

I have been playing with my template, yet again, and have transformed the archive list in the sidebar into a 'calendar'.

Thanks to Phydeaux for creating this feature, which I think is an excellent way of displaying archives. His instructions can be found on his site at:

Blog Archive Calendar

Themes for the calendar with their instructions and copy and paste styling can be found on Phydeaux's Blogger Archive Calendar Styles page.
