One of the reasons WordPress is such a good way to create a website is because it’s easy to customize. Take Widgets, for example, which make adding new features to your sidebar and other areas of your site as easy as dragging and dropping a few boxes around.

* Search boxes
* Newsletter subscription forms
* Automatically updating lists of recent posts
* Google AdSense / banner ad code

Take a look at the video for a quick start guide to using WordPress Widgets.
