You can “accessorise” your blog with a number of add-ons or “widgets”. To do so is simple- just go to your dashboard and click-on Appearance > Widgets and then add the ones you want into your “side-bar”. There are a number of default applications that you can use straight away … and others that involve you adding a little bit of code that you get from other websites.
Here are two widgets you could try to add:
+ Register at the bloggers’ bible: technorati: This will eventually help you build an audience, even a community, around you work.
+ Add a free (external) web counter at Motigo.
