Been having a play with the various widgets down the right hand side here, I have a lot of stuff commented out now from things I've tried over the months, seeing as Widgetbox are about to launch I figured I'd give them a more detailed try as the main thing for me is that I can configure and run things through their pretty slick site now and not touch the HTML in the Blogger template everytime I want to mess about with something.
It does mean that whatever it is I want to mess with has to be on their site and if over time this becomes a problem then I'll just put them in manually like I have been, other than that it looks nice, feels ok and works well enough, might need to fiddle with some more settings to get it how I want, time will tell
