<P>My fellow monks, greetings.
<P>I come to you for wisdom and guidance on how to use a feature of the <A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/">Monastery</a>, in hopes of becoming a more useful and productive community member.
<P>Early the afternoon on which I wrote this, I saw a reference in the [Chatterbox FAQ|CB] to the "tick tock nodelet," and how to enable it. Still having much to learn regarding the <A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/">Monastery</a>, and curious what it was and how to use it, I looked at my [User Settings] at both the "Frontpage Nodelets" and "non-Frontpage Nodelets," only to find 17 items in each (at the time of this writing), some of which I thought I could fathom their use, others which I found myself in need of clue regarding.
<P>While the advice I received in the [Chatterbox FAQ|CB] was to turn them on and try them (which I probably will), I would like to ask the following:
<UL>
<LI>What is the use of each nodelet? (I could not find a listing of them giving a list of each and its use.) Advantages and/or disadvantages? (As appropriate)
<LI>Which nodelets do you use, or do you use the standard set?
<LI>Which are the most/least useful to you?
<LI>For those nodelets which allow you to do certain functions, how do you use them? Any pitfalls to avoid?
</ul>
<P>Beyond this, my only other question would be this-is there an easier way to order them than to turn them all on then spend xx minutes clicking the up/down links to move them around?
<P>My thanks in advance for whatever wisdom and guidance you may choose to bestow upon this inquiry.
