CDC.gov provides content in several useful ways, via our e-mail updates, podcasts and RSS feeds. Our newest features are the Flu Updates, Emergency Text Messages and the CDC Data and Statistics Widget. Widgets are online applications built by one Web site that can be displayed onto another Web site.
A widget is a CDC.gov application that displays the featured content directly on your web page. You can embed content in personalized home pages, blogs, and other sites. Once you've added the widget, there's no technical maintenance. CDC.gov will update the content automatically.
Adding a CDC.gov widget to your page means that you will have up-to-date, credible health and safety content in your favorite spaces – no more searching or browsing! Stay informed about the health content that is most meaningful to you.
