DREW NOAH: So before I move on to show you all the different gadgets that you can add
to your homepage, it's important to note that all gadgets should have some preferences and
you can access those in this little drop down menu right here. So, this is just kind of
some standard stuff you've got: edit settings share this gadget, you might also like...,
about this gadget, minimize/maximize and delete. So you should be able to--most gadgets will
have some settings that you can do. See there's one setting for this one and it just, you
know, your ZIP code, something like this YouTube gadget, got a couple of settings that's dropped
down. You can change what you're seeing; I guess that's only the real settings. But just
be sure to check it out for each gadget like this CNN gadget, I can choose a number of
stories I want to see. So, each gadget will have some different settings. If you choose
to share this gadget, you can enter in e-mail addresses and send people a link to the gadget.
Then you might also like, it's kind of interesting too, just some similar gadgets that you might
also like so check that out if you've got a gadget that you really like, you can find
some similar ones. Got the about this gadget link and just some information about the gadgets,
the users, ratings, sharing, add it which is already on my page but it's also--that
you might also like over here and then some comments about it. Go back to the homepage.
Then, of course, you can minimize gadgets, kind of get them out of your way if you want
to and minimize and maximize and then the last, you can delete them. So those are just
some of the preferences and I already mentioned this but just remember you can arrange them
however you want by clicking and dragging from this little top bar, so you get the little
hand. So that's just some of the preferences available on your gadgets.
