Using images in Embedded Video/Audio box
I used the Embedded Video/Audio box to create:
a list of keywords I saved to the public gallery in Wordle http://www.wordle.net/
a slideshow of images I uploaded to Photobucket http://photobucket.com/slideshows
Create an account with these websites and then once the presentation has been created just copy the HTML code provided and insert it into an Embedded Video/Audio box.

Alert services explain to users
Just sneaking on other libguides, and I found that adding a box (or tab) on Alert Services could be very useful and relevant for most of our libguides (well, not really for the libguides but for the users of those libguides). Three different alert services could be explain: Table of contents (eTOC), databases search and citation alerts. How about creating a generic one, and after that, we could adapt it to our respective subjects? The big question.... where users will find it? Under How to..., under Research, or Journal articles? My preference will be under Research, and as a tab. But this is just my opinion.
Some good examples:
