Should there be a "Pages" widget too?
In working on the drop-down selector to Register different account types I got sidetracked making a "Pages Widget" like the existing "Groups Widget."
One nice thing about the "Groups Widget" is that little [+] that takes you to the Register form to create your own Group. But there isn't anything like that for creating a PAGE. So that was my primary reason for creating the new widget. But it's also nice to have a list of Pages you're following right there in the sidebar. It shows both "Organization" and "News" page account types.
And I made the Pages Widget sortable like everything else in that sidebar. Because this isn't a mock-up, it's functional on my Dev Server. I've only tested it in Frio/Bookface. I still need to check it in Vier.
Hopefully there wasn't some fringe technical reason a Pages Widget didn't already exist.
