2. Find the "Add a Widget" link on the profile page.

3. Choose one of the Eons widgets. They offer a number of widgets, including an interactive fortune cookie and Sudoku.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to add a widget from another site to your Eons profile, you will have to follow the instructions from that website. Scroll down to the bottom of the page with the Eons widgets to the area that allows you to add your own widgets.
• You can personalize some widgets; for example, weather widgets allow you to tailor the widget for your zip code.
• Eons does not offer support for widgets from other sites. There is an HTML workshop group where members help each other with widgets and other items that require coding.
