Add-In: WHS Widget

WHS Widget is a new add-in which enables you to create and maintain a collection of custom widgets which you can embed into your home server splash page.

The lady playing with her children with the video camera can now be replaced with a Facebook badge widget, a Live Messenger widget, a Youtube video, an iFrame, custom HTML or pretty much anything. And there is also the option of returning the lady to her default state if that is what you want to do.

More information as well as widget ideas are available from here.
