Preface

Chapter 8. Customizing with Widgets—Menus and Panels

Welcome to the world of widgets. It used to be, not so long ago, if you wanted to add extra functionality or interactivity to your website, you would need a web developer or programmer to create it for you. Things are so much easier now, and extra interactivity in Muse comes in the shape of a widget.

Widgets are the reusable, customizable building blocks of interactivity. Examples include slideshows, panels, and menus. In this chapter, we're looking at how to use widgets to add menus using the Bar, Horizontal, and Vertical menu widgets. We'll also look at panels. These are space-saving panels that can work in a tabbed fashion or like an Accordion.

In this chapter you will learn how to:

  • Add and edit widgets

  • Create menu bars

  • Create Horizontal menus

  • Create Vertical menus

  • Build an Accordion panel

  • Work with Tabbed Panels
