Description
Widgetbox (widgetbox.com) offers a very nice way to manage several widgets and embed them into your own pages.
Here is how it works:
- you should create a Widgetbox account and create a new panel
- configure your panel and add widgets you want to it (you should subscribe and configure these widgets first
- install your whole panel — just copy the generated code and paste into your Wikidot page within the [[embed]] … [[/embed]] tags.
There is a nice overview at their website here.
The panels can be both horizontal or vertical (ideal for inclusion in your nav:side).
Code
Embed your own generated code, here is just an example how it should look like (choose "Other" when asked which site to use):
[[embed]]
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertPanel.js?panelId=eae283bb-c474-4a6f-90de-c405e4ca9a86"></script>
[[/embed]]
In action
The cool thing is that you can configure and manage your panels directly at Widgetbox.com.

Widgetbox will not be available as of March 2014 so if you need a replacement, you can try FeedWind (Google it). This easy to use RSS widget maker is free and has no advertising - you can make custom widgets there too.
No problem :)
Just so long as you remember that only you can see it :) Putting it on a public site will be useless with the current settings.

I'm not able to get the following code working properly
the following is the whole code
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js"></script><script>if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('611b0148-e39d-4779-90e2-64698169a850');</script><noscript>Get the <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/mini-clock">Mini-Clock</a> widget and many other <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/">great free widgets</a> at <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">Widgetbox</a>!

I can not see anything except white below, but if you can see something then I assume that means it's working, but is only visible to you. Using James' iframe embed code, I came up with this:
[[embed]]
@iframe class="" style="" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="300px" align="" scrolling="auto" src="http://snippets.wdfiles.com/local--code/code:iframe-embed#%3Cscript%20type%3D%22text/javascript%22%20src%3D%22http%3A//cdn.widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js%22%3E%3C/script%3E%3Cscript%3Eif%20%28WIDGETBOX%29%20WIDGETBOX.renderWidget%28%27611b0148-e39d-4779-90e2-64698169a850%27%29%3B%3C/script%3E"></iframe@

You did not follow the instructions of the widgetbox-panel page.

I've been experiancing problems with embedding widgetbox widgets.
According to the doc i should choose "other" when asked which site to use.
This appears to have changed. As that option appears to no longer been available.
As a work round, use the "get panel code" option.
This will give you something like this:-
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/
InsertPanel.js?panelId=d15a1d7b-4933-4da8-b010-04375907922f"></script>
<noscript>Get great free widgets at <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">Widgetbox</a>!</noscript><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;"
border="0" width="0" height="0" src="http://runtime.widgetbox.com/syndication/
track/d15a1d7b-4933-4da8-b010-04375907922f.gif" />Strip this down to
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertPanel.js?panelId=d15a1d7b-4933-4da8-b010-04375907922f"></script>Then insert that striped down code into the embed tags. ie:-
[[embed]]
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertPanel.js?panelId=d15a1d7b-4933-4da8-b010-04375907922f"></script>
[[/embed]]which should then give you
