Widgets and Gadgets vs Portals and Bridges

Through the creation of 'a clump of code' Yahoo and Google devised a means of linking information in a seamless manner.
Yahoo calls them widgets whilst
Google prefers to call them gadgets.

Widgets/Gadgets = SAME

My initial problem was working out how large 'a clump of code' could be!! It seems small clumps can equate to placing one piece of information in your blogsite i.e. the real time in Los Angeles to larger clumps that, when used, become portals/bridges from one blog to several websites.

Hopefully, I have also added an Island gadget from the gadget collection. Just realised that this doesn't show up in 'draft' mode - only appears when you have published the post. Will now have to work on how to build text around it.
