Sidebar widgets are awesome!  They allow you to display dynamic (it changes) and static (does not change) content on the sides and bottom of your website.  You can see a sample of how we use it at the tech help site.

Widgets are really just plugins that are seen on your website.  Many plugins work in the background to help your site do "stuff."  Widgets come from plugins and can be displayed on your site so the user sees something.  This can be a bit confusing.
