The widgets that appear when customizing Your View enable you to create a home page that shows you only the content you want to see every time you log into The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community.

These are widgets (click on the image to enlarge):

When you drag one of them down, like Latest Poll, it expands to display the latest content for that item (i.e. the latest poll posted on the LLS Community). To learn more about this process, go to the document on how to create Your View.
