I love widgets…I used to have a widget bookshelf from Shelfari when I was on Blogger. When I moved from Blogger to WordPress, I realized that WordPress permissions don’t allow me to add Shelfari bookshelves. Hoping they will overcome this soon.

I like widgets, but I find that I am always changing mine or taking them down if I get new ones because I freak out about the way that they make my page look.

It seems like I ought to use more widgets! I’m not sure my template allows for the best use of them, but I do intend to incorporate more widgets into my blog.

I like how you have used widgets here; you’ve done a nice job with your blog. Are you using CSS?

I guess I’m not really a widget-y person.

I love the graphic you posted, Jen!

I need a new header and a photomosaic would be nice…worth a thought!

I’d exclude books that I don’t actually own in mine with collections, I think, but for now it’s just all random.

I like your old header, but I think having so much space on your blog page is nicer. Only so many things can fit in my small sidebar. =/

I’m a lazy person about some things (dust tends to be a protective coating around here sometimes), but for some reason, I’m always Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to removing books from my LT catalog that I’ve donated or sent out via Paperback Swap. Go figure!

That photomosaic header is really nice! I like your 3-column blog though, and it sounds like you can’t have a custom header on it …

I use the widget for ‘recently added’ books, which is my compromise (instead of random books)

my answer is here

I have several widgets on my blog, including one I made for LT Early Reviewers, but I doubt anyone looks at them.
