The internet is a great place to read and share information. If you’re a blog owner, you’re probably doing the sharing part, and are already aware of website add-ons. Website add-ons can serve a variety of purposes, depending on the the add-on. From being exclusively entertainment, to saving you from doing mundane tasks, website add-ons are a wonderful way to get the most from the experience of owning a website.
Listed below are a couple of different add-ons that can help your website:
jQuery Slider – The jQuery Slider add-on offers its owners a built-in option for slideshows. It is also an add-on that can help you create your own slide shows. This add-on is entirely free of charge. Another great thing about it, is that it is easy to install and customize. It’s an amazing alternative route to Flash-Based Slideshows for your websites. The jQuery Slider add-on also automatically resizes pictures, so that you don’t have to resize them manually. This is a great add-on for anyone who is looking to add slideshows onto their website. Slideshows add to your website by making it more interesting to surf.
Navehumor.com – The Navehumor add-on is one that is a pure entertainment add-on. What this add-on does is it will give the readers a daily joke. Place the code on your website once and you’ll get new jokes from it everyday. Another benefit of this add-on is that you can choose fonts, colors, a personalized title, and the size of the search box. So, what if there’s a certain category that you don’t want on your blog? No problem! The Navehumor add-on gives you a choice about the categories of jokes that you can choose from.

The Meteo Weather add-on gives you updates on the temperature, direction of the wind, and the weekly forecast.
Outbrain Star Ratings Widget – The Outbrain Star Ratings Widget is very useful in the sense that it gives you an idea of what your readers thought about your article. This add-on will give your readers the choice to rate every one of your articles, on a system from one to five stars. The good news is that you only have to place the code once, not on each and every one of your written articles. It can be very helpful to get feedback when writing articles. The Outbrain Star Ratings Widget will allow you to recieve that type of feedback.
ShareThis – This add-on is pretty popular amongst bloggers. What the ShareThis add-on does, is it gives your readers a chance to share your material on various social networking sites. The ShareThis add-on is an amazing way to increase the traffic to your website. Genius even!
Google Talk Badge – The Google Talk Badge is enabled only when you’re online. If you’re trying to sell your readers a product, it’s a great way to help drive them in that direction. Or maybe, you just want to talk with your readers, and learn what they think of your site. With the Google Talk Badge this is all possible. An alternative add-on that is very similar is known as “Meebo me.”
