A web widget is a bit of code you add to a webpage or blog. Once a widget’s code is pasted into a page, it can grab updated information or display interactive content. Learn about places to find, customize, and use free embed code that displays information right on your own website. Your website will thank you for the fresh, new content!

Web widgets go by different names, including HTML embeds, embed code, plug-ins, and gadgets. Chances are your website has a way for you to paste the HTML code into your page so that it displays a widget. Each platform has a different method for inserting the code. If your platform is not listed under Embedding Instructions, try searching Google or YouTube for a tutorial.
