If you’re like us, you’re constantly on the lookout for credible, up-to-date content for you website. So may we direct you to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Widget and Gadget” Web page?
With a couple of mouse clicks, you can copy a “widget” for a whole host of health and safety topics and simply drop in into a web page. There it will reside as a neat little graphic box that readers can click to find the CDC’s latest take on everything from pet health and safety to peanut butter recalls.
The agency says, “You can embed content in personalized home pages, blogs, and other sites. Once you've added the widget, there's no technical maintenance.” The CDC quietly updates the information on a regular basis, and almost continuously on rapidly developing issues such as the H1N1 (swine) flu.
The “Gadget” part covers the same topics, but they’re formatted so they can be easily dropping into any iGoogle web page.
