Web Widgets
WebWidgets are smallish things that you can add to your Web site to increase
its functionality, or to help you understand better how it is being used.
- A counter will show how many visits your page receives.
- It will be incremented with every visit or reload.
- Click here to insert a counter on your page.
- Forms on the Web allow you to get feedback from the visitors to your
Web site.
- A person can leave comments, request information, or even fill out
applications right from
the Web browser.
- You have a few options for doing this yourself:
Announcement Maker allows you (and your designees) to put date-specific
information on your Web site
using a Web form. The information you enter into the announcement maker will appear on your
page in your site's design attributes.
If you have a complex Web site with many documents, you can add a search
engine to your Web site that will provide better access to the materials.
Within your Web space, you may want to
run programs that retrieve data from users or manipulate data according
to different parameters. CGI (common gateway interface) allows you to
run (mostly) PERL programs to create your own Web widgets.
ITS offers faculty and staff a service to host either a domain name (e.g. www.myorganization.org)
on a departmental or personal machine on the Wesleyan network or an IT-managed machine (usually on
Condor)
Wesleyan ITS now maintains a publicly available Google Calendar version of the Wesleyan Calendar. If you have a Google account, you can integrate these Wesleyan Events into your personal Google Calendar.
