As announced not long ago, i initiated a project in which i will be reviewing the best gadgets you can run over at your Vista sidebar. To date, i reviewed the best GMail gadgets as well as the best weather gadgets for Vista. Today i would like to go ahead and review the most useful blogging related gadgets you can incorporate into your Vista sidebar. I am talking about gadgets that can enhance your productivity by saving you precious time while interacting with our blogging tools of choice. So here is my of list of most useful Vista sidebar gadgets for bloggers:

1. Adsense Gadget : Adsense is this blog’s main money maker. The Adense Vista gadgets helps me to stay on top of my earnings and impressions without leaving my desktop. The only caveat is that you need to make sure you don’t spend your entire day staring at the counter as dollars pile up

2. GMail Reader: Most bloggers i know use GMail as their main means of communication. The best features that GMail Reader gadget brings on board are its ability to monitor your mailbox from the desktop as well as be alerted on the important messages you are waiting for

3. CPU Meter: My laptop and Desktops are my workplace, and thus i better monitor them closely, or i ‘ll be decommissioned for days. The CPU Meter gadget displays system usage details (CPU, memory), and allows me to easily identify performance issues without opening my Windows Task Manager. The gadget is shipped with Vista operating systems, and can be easily added from the Gadgets window.

4. Windows Live Writer Gadget : Unlike many bloggers, i use Windows Live Writer (WLW) beta 2 as my main blogging tool. This gadget allows me to easily open a new or previous blog entry and open the options menu right from your sidebar (or have it floating and open Writer from anywhere). Moreover, it allows me to drag and drop images and URLs onto the gadget too.

5. Package Tracker : I usually buy (mainly at Amazon) plenty of professional books and magazines that i later use as reference when blogging. Those books and mags are shipped to me over at Israel from the USA or Germany using one of the major carriers. A common issue i encountered is to track those packages. The Package Tracker Vista sidebar gadget allows me to easily track packages from all major carriers from my desktop.

Those were my favs, what are yours? Let me know your take.
