    What blog are you using? Wordpress, Drupal, blogger?

    We need a little more info thanks :)

    The benefits will be easy to install and edit sidebars depending on your blogging system.

    Widgets means control , they are elements that display info. which is arrangeable or changeable and ur visitors can intract or work more easily within ur site.

    Now if u have some plugins installed like add to subscribers, related posts, e.g (active plugins mode) then go to wp dashboard > themes > widgets tab > and click on add those widgets which u like.

    My signature recipe blog is an example of how widgets works. :D

    Hope it will help.

    Widgets are simple things that can be added to your sidebar ( customised from your admin panel)

    There will be a place for other text in your widgets ( place the code there)

    Or simply open up your wordpress files and do a bit of coding/ download a plugin.
