Grab your umbrellas, it's raining widgets!

  Widget flood ...

In an initiative to shake things up, and see what happens by removing a lot of widget-related restrictions, we've recently made almost all widgets available on almost all pages -- for Groups only.

  Caveats ...

  Some of these widgets may be taken back.  We're going to keep a close eye on how they're used, and see whether there's anything we don't want happening.  If it turns out that listing your Collections on your Blog just doesn't work, we'll withdraw it.

  There will be visual glitches.  (Happens to the best of us, right?  That haircut senior year maybe wasn't the best choice, eh?)  Some of the modules are being thrown into narrower columns than they were designed for.  We'll fix these cases as they arise, but the issues won't necessarily be top priority.

  Ready, set, go ...

I put worms in my bed and slept in my bed,
And put a squirrel in my bed and mustard in my bed,
And then I ate 'em all, is that bad?
