Adding Widgets
 Widgets are the neat "tools and gizmos" you see on wikis - things like YouTube movies, GoogleCalendars, Slideshow viewiers or photo galleries. They are outside programs which are embeddable into your wiki. Simply - you grab the code, paste it into your wiki, and voila, the widget shows up once you hit save.
