DOWNLOAD MORE WIDGETS

WordPress.org hosts a lot more widgets that you can download, nearly all for

free! They are actually plugins that have been tagged as widgets and can be seen

by going to:

http://WordPress.org/extend/plugins/tags/widget

Find a widget you like the look of, and then on your website install the widget as

a plugin - see chapter 8.

For this guide, let’s search for and install the “Inspirational Quotes” plugin

(which acts as a Widget). Once installed activate it. Re-read Chapter 8 if you

don’t know how to do this.

Now go to your Widgets page, and “Inspirational Quotes” will be available for

you to drag across to Primary Widget Area.

Do so, and you are prompted with options:

Click on Save, and return to your website. You’ve downloaded a widget and

added it to your site!
