Update Your MyBlogLog "Recent Reader" Widget

I'm sporting a shiny new "Recent Reader" widget today thanks to MyBlogLog. Not only is the look updated, but now we have features!

The new MyBlogLog Recent Reader widget comes in seven colors and 2 layouts. However, MyBlogLog has assured me that we will be able to apply custom skins in the near future.

There is a nifty new flyout box which appears when scrolling over a reader avatar. The flyout box provides additional details about the reader and allows you to add that person to your contacts via a quick link. You can also click through to visit a reader's profile or community. NOTE: You will need to adjust the flyout box depending on the layout of your blog.

MyBlogLog members can now easily add themselves to a site's community by clicking on the "add" button at the bottom of the widget.

Thanks Nicole!

I think I added and/or updated mybloglog too. It definitely is more advanced and better looking than the previous version. Does mine work? I notice that since I embedded it, I appear on your Recent Visitors List...

Thanks for the tip and link to MYBLOGLOG. I'm always looking for a new techie idea!

Hi Nicole - I have noticed a few people have updated theirs already. I will have to update mine soon....it looks great!

It's always nice to make updates. I think adding custom skins will be key. We don't wear the same outfit everyday. And I want my closet full of widget options! Kudos to you ActiveRainers that have an eye for design! :)
