You can find interesting HTML snippets of code (that you can insert easily in iWeb) to improve your web pages at these web sites:
If you google html code + something that you would like to add to your web page, (like a clock), you will find tutorials or information that you can copy and paste into your web page in order to achieve what you want.
It’s not 100% guaranteed, but you should try it!
Besides HTML, you may also look for Javascript code.
