The Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) has a number of methods for you to keep informed about new and updated layers.
FGDL RSS Feed 
FGDL now has an associated RSS feed. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a Web content syndication format. It allows you to monitor changes in web content. Using an RSS enabled browser like Firefox you can see a list of our most recently added or updated layers.

The FGDL Widget 
What's a widget? Well, widgets can be whatever you want them to be. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, or even tell you what is happening over at FGDL. To use the FGDL widget you will need to download and install the Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) and the FGDL Widget (which you can get right here). When you're done you will have a widget that lives on your desktop that looks like the image to the right. From the widget you can see the eight newest layers (updated nightly), view their metadata, and download them. Anyway, it's just fun to say widget!
