Blog widgets are wonderful tools to add on to your blog to spruce it up. You and your readers can benefit from the great functions derived from these widgets. Personally I like my to choose only the most useful ones so as not to clutter up my blog, so make sure you do the same by downloading and implementing them selectively!
You can embed a neat little chat frame on either side of your blog so that readers can chat with you. Not only that, you can occasionally keep track and communicate with them as well. Be they regular readers or lurkers, your audience will love the interaction provided by this widget. Other than that, you might also consider adding a blog commenting tool such as HaloScan. I love most of the features provided, and these include comment spam filters, worldwide time zone and language support, customized polls and comment ratings.
Music brings everyone together, and in the blogging world, this has never been truer. By embedding music players in your blog, you are indirectly providing them another form of entertainment and a reason to bookmark your blog and come back often for updates. Readers will also gain insight into what music you are listening at the moment. Lastly, let’s not forget the trusty site meter, a tool that automatically tracks your blog visitors and tabulating the data within an embedded counter.
