Cool Add-ons for your Web Site: counters, calendars, polls, and more!

There are many cool add-ons available for your Web site that add interest, currency and "stickiness". Some are practical, such as calendars, counters, and feedback forms. Others are interactive, such as discussion forums or puzzles. Your site can deliver current news, magazine articles, current area weather, and all kinds of content that will keep your visitors coming back! Some add-ons are free and some have a price tag, but all are neat additions to Web sites if used appropriately. This fun session looks at where to get some of these cool add-ons and how to get them into your Web pages. In this session, participants will:

• find cool add-ons that are free
• consider communication tools such as guestbooks, discussion forums, and message boards
• find out how to quickly add a dynamic calendar for events
• see where to get interactive content like polls, puzzles and games
• learn where to get live newsfeeds and insert them into Web pages

*This is a hands-on session. Participants build web pages during the course that include some of the add-ons covered in this session. This is a fast paced session where participants must be familiar with HTML.
