The green sidebar to the right has a few informative sections to it. The 'archive' allows you to click on a title and you will be brought to that posting without having to go through the entire deck of postings to find something that interests you. 'Labels'-almost every posting has been labeled so if you are only interested in looking at say 'family pictures', click on that label and those postings will show. 'Favorite websites' are just that and you can click on one of those to be led directly to that site.
The dark blue sidebar below the green one is also interactive but is mostly filled with 'gadgets' that are automatic feeds right to this site from other sources and I have just copied and pasted them. I keep changing and adding/removing. My favorites are the temperature readings from GC, FL, OH, and NJ. I have been monitoring these quite closely and am coming to the conclusion that Iowa is the hottest and coldest place in the lower 48. You can click on these to get forecasts. The NASA images, places to see, happened this day in history are also interactive and you can get more images, info if you like by clicking on them or parts of them. The Youtube gadget allows you to view the most viewed videos on Youtube and to search for other videos. The videos may take a moment to buffer and may be choppy until they are buffered. Finally, the 'newsreel' starts you with GC news (although I have GC, Iowa listed-the feed picks up news form other Grundys in the country so beware) and you can click on the other sources for CNN, Sports Illustrated, etc.
The footer or very last gadget are the clocks from around the world. I haven't perfected the size and spacing of this one yet.
Actual postings like this one can be commented on, may have links to other sites, or pictures that you can enlarged (left click) or copied (right click).
