Dori Smith tells you how to whip up a widget

dashboard_iconI knew that making a Widget was fairly easy, but thanks to Dori Smith now realize that it is ridiculously easy. Dori has penned an article for Macworld's 'Geek Factor' series where she lays out all the files that you need for a widget and what needs to be where.

Who knew that all a Widget consists of are 3 files in a folder with a special extension. Ok, so maybe you knew that, Mr. Smartypants, but this Apple pundit isn't afraid to admit that there are some things he doesn't know.

But that's not all!  Macworld wants your widgets. Well, they want your widget based on Dori's countdown widget so email them to geekfactor@macworld.com.

Tip of the Day

Want to drag a file to another folder and copy it instead of moving it? Press the Option key when you drag that file and it'll be duplicated rather than moved entirely.
