Organize your widgetized websites at Netvibes

So many widgets, so little time. How do you keep track of which widgets and other enhancements you've added to which websites? Yeah, I know, there's Excel. But what fun is that?

I created an online directory of my WhyPark sites using Netvibes, a free website construction service. Netvibes allows you to create customized pages by dragging and dropping elements from a palette that they provide. To create my directory, I placed a set of Netvibe's "HTML widgets" on a page, and added links to particular types of enhanced WhyPark sites to each. Check it out by clicking the image below.



Here's the kicker. My friends at NamePros tell me that creating links to your sites can improve their placement in search engine results. So, my Netvibes directory is simultaneously organizing and promoting my WhyPark sites. Creating links is OK for WhyPark and hosted sites, but can violate the terms of service if you are using a parking company. Of course, if your sites are parked you can't add widgets so you probably aren't reading this anyway.

Widget on.
