Do you love eBay? Are you a fan of browsing cool pics on Flickr? Do you want to check in periodically on select stocks and see how they are performing? Our new Favorite Widgets experience will let you do all of these things and more!
Starting off, we've got a cool new way for you to look for items on eBay and track them right from your homepage. For detailed info on what you can do with eBay on AOL, click here.
The next option, Sticky Note, is the perfect place for you to keep track of your grocery list, party planning reminders or even driving directions when you can't find a pen and paper. Try clicking on Options to change the color of your sticky note and to select your font of choice. Need the info on the go? No problem -- just click the "Print sticky" link in the bottom right corner. Want to erase the info in one fail swoop? Just click on "Clear sticky" to wipe the slate clean.
Do you love photos? If yes, you will be thrilled to hear that you can now browse Flickr photos right on your homepage. You can choose between Recent and Popular photos, and you can view images individually or in a grid. (The image below shows the grid option.) For more detailed info on what you can do with Flickr on AOL, click here.
Next up is the Stock Watch widget which is sure to please all of you finance gurus out there. Click on "Edit Watchlist" to add or remove additional stock symbols to your list. Not sure of a company's symbol? There's a handy "Symbol Lookup" link on the Edit Watchlist screen.
Finally, we have a Day & Time Calendar widget. This is a quick and easy way to check today's date and time whenever you like right on your page. You can also use the arrows to flip from month to month to check dates. The timestamp can also be used as a nifty timer!
We hope you get a lot of great use out of this widget collection. As always, we'd love to hear what you think about this new feature, and please let us know if there are similar widgets you'd like to see added.
Cheers!

How do I delete widgets that I have no interest in? What if I don't care about seeing the flickr or ebay widgets? Can I move the boxes around. There's lots of stuff on the page that I'd like to customize right off of it.

At this time you can not move widgets around, but I will pass that functionality request along. You can just add or remove items that are available in the "Customize Your Page" feature, and you an also use the arrow next to each item's title to collapse it. I hope this is helpful!

It is by accident I got E-Bay on my AOL screen today. I am glad to learn so many features-stocks, sticky notes, photos etc., one can see on E-Bay. How do I go to e-bay from my computer to use these particular features? Please e-mail me at vinoddave101@aol.com. Also do I need a password to get in to the e-bay, please write me. Thanks.

This is the first time I have used this widget, so I don't know what it's all about. I guess everything is ok. If you try once and don't succeed, just keep on sucking and you will suck seed.
