The incorrect month was due a javascript bug. I fixed it locally, and this fix will be included in next release (should be ready tomorrow).

I am trying to include more debug messages to figure out the image not loading issue. The actual fix might take some more time, so please be patient

@wildt - Can you PM me a screenshot of your desktop with Markets Today widget? I'd like to take a look at the extra space.

I'm planning to give two/three size options for the widget. Small (very basic info), Medium (current size), and Large (full screen?). What do you guys think?
