Question – “What’s a widget?”

A widget is a code that you can add to your blogs sidebar.  This makes it easy for you add or remove information from your blog.  Example, you want to add your alexa.com rating meter to your blog.  You would take the aleax.com code, install it into a text widget.  Then you just click a button to add the complete widget to the sidebar.  Once this widget is installed your site aleax.com rating will show up.  If you want to remove the widget you just pull it off and it’s gone.  To get right down to it, it’s just a code that you can add and remove information within it with no problems.  I hope I was to explain this the right way!
