So, we take a look at those, but most important, this is where we see the first appearance of user-defined widgets. If you remember, we said that widgets bundle up HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a reusable way, and the authors of WhatWhat Status took advantage of this to reduce code duplication in the "recent changes" template.
