Review of Site:
WidgetBox office a variety of different widgets both for free and those you have to join/pay to have access to. Widgets are offered over a wide range of topics from health to widget pets! The site also offers the ability to create your own widget.
Getting started is not hard. Just click on Widget and enter a search item. THIS is where it gets tricky. Finding exactly what you want takes a little work sifting through things that sound or appear similar to what you searched for. There is a right sidebar that allows you to browse my categories. However, again you must sift through various widgets until you find what you are looking for.
Recommended use for public health messaging:
Public health widgets can be utilized to enhance content on websites, blogs, or social media sites. These widgets are great tools to link to health care centers, STD information, complete risk assessments, and much more. Public health professionals can be creative and make their own widgets or link to reputable sources. Most widgets do not require any updating on the user's end.
