When I say "toys" I mean things like the following:

- calendar showing current month with the current day highlighted

- time of day (with ability to set time zone and save time zone via cookie)

- visitor counter

- local temperature and weather (with ability to enter zip code and save zip code via cookie)

It would be nice if the system provided these as standard options.

For the most part, we will leave development of the toys or "blog accessories" or "digital bling" to third parties and focus our resources on the core blogging product. There are many services out there which specialize in what you call toys, and it doesn't make sense from our perspective to put resources towards not only making these types of things available but continually updating them.

I don't have any recommendations on services which provide the type of things you reference (except maybe www.sitemeter.com for stats and counters), but you might be able to create some of these things yourself using Javascript. www.htmlgoodies.com and webdeveloper.earthweb.com/webjs are good resources for Javascripts.
