10.5: Easily create a personalized widget with Safari 3

Here's a unique way to use Safari's web clip feature to create your own widget. I set up a countdown timer and generated the HTML, using this countdown generator. I then copied the HTML source, pasted it into TextEdit, added <html><head></head><body> at the top, and </body></html> at the bottom, and saved it to the Desktop as an HTML file. Then I opened it in Safari, and used Web Clip to make my own widget from the output. Bingo -- a customised widget! [robg adds: The theory here is more interesting than the actual example of a countdown widget, given the number of such widgets that are already available. Basically, grab an HTML snippet from a page that generates such things, add the basic HTML tags around it, then create a widget from the output.]
