Widgets
According to Wikipedia, widgets are applications that can be integrated within a third party website by the placement of a small snippet of code. The code brings in live content - advertisements, links, images - from a third party site without the web site owner having to update.
Simply put, you can now put headlines and the most up to date videos from wandtv.com on your own webpage and the content will update itself.
Put our widgets on your Facebook or MySpace page and have the latest central Illinois news on your page!
