I've gone out of my way to make sure that my widgets not only reflect what my blog is about, but what it looks like. I hate it when I click on a widget and it has nothing to do with the blog to which it leads. <abbr><em>Chameleon@CoffeeBreak’s last blog post..<a href="http://coffeebreak.today.com/2009/04/10/day-2-31-days-coffee-break-green-mountain-coffee-spring-revival/" rel="nofollow">Day 2: 31 Days Coffee Break - Green Mountain Coffee Spring Revival</a></abbr></em> Your widget is what brought me to your blog because I identify – I’m mature, not senile, too.

I get annoyed when I see widgets that are disconnected from the content of the blog. It's like tricking people and pulling a bait-and-switch tactic. After that, I don't care what they have to say. My widget has one of my handbags on it, because my blog is about making handbags and other crafts. Your widget is also well suited to your blog's content. <abbr><em>Krystal of Solsisters’s last blog post..<a href="http://solsisters.blogspot.com/2009/04/cover-2-was-much-easier.html" rel="nofollow">cover 2 was much easier</a></abbr></em> Your widget should match what your blog is about.

It stands out. There are more than a few widgets of scantily clad women. While that might get some people's attention, it does little to differentiate. If anything, I'd think about changing the layout of the blog. If you look at my widget, I've tried to set it up so it matches the layout of my blog. The font type and color are the same on my widget as on the title of by blog. I have the same shade of red on the sides of my widget as I do on my blog. I even try to get other sites, like Twitter and so one to match this look and feel, and I've made business cards with the same look and feel. It is part of my personal brand. You might think about how you further your personal brand.
