Well, it's extremely basic, but I've knocked together my first Widget for
Dashboard in Tiger:

(okay, so it's pretty rough and unfinished, but you get the idea)

It is incredibly easy to make a Dashboard widget - No programming required -
Have a go and copy mine and substitute your own web page, change the images
for the icon and background image and the dimensions in the plist file and
viola!

I can see there is going to be a HUGE number of widgets available in the
coming weeks.

My example displays the current 7-day Wind and Waves forecast from

(essential for mad-keen windsurfers like my wife and I)
