Thank you.  There are a LOT of docs to read.  One only goes by assuming what
makes sense until he is able to read it all.

I am doing what I can to "read up" and certainly would not take an entire
day working on this if I was not reading what I thought I needed to read. 
Maybe this link should be included in each of the widget doc pages as well
so it's not overlooked for us newbies.

Thanks.
