Has or does anyone know anything about adding web parts to a page? I would like to build something that is very similar to a persons igoogle page or like
http://www.google.co.in/ig?hl=en I am guessing that it is going to involve some JavaScript. So if anyone knows of a good tutorial site or and example they would like to post as a starter that would be great.
Thanks,
njmeyer

Yes that would involve a lot of js but you may be able to use some JQuery to cut down on size of it...
google jquery plugins and look at dynamicdrive.com...

I have done some looking of my own and I have come across the following:
http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/wikis
I have started to use it alittle bit and it seems like it is going to work.
I am still looking to see if it is going to be able to "save" the locations of the dropped areas in a cookie or a database so that once a user moves an area it is stored and will be the same then the user returns to the site or page.

Seems as tho that would be one of the settings I'm sure, I hope your pages load faster than the demos I tried to exit them as they were taking so long to load but it had my browser locked...
I used some jquery stuff on this site for fun, just testing...
