Does Anyone Need a Free Widget That Keeps Your Web Visitors Up To Date On Mortgage Rates - Or How I Wasted My Last Several Weekends Part 2

A while ago I set out with a mission. Kind of like when james bond has a mission and climbs on a plane in midflight to stop someone from blowing up the world. Anyway my mission was a little more boring. Basically I wanted to automatically post updated mortgage rates on my website. I thought it would take a few hours. I ended up getting way to obsessed with it and spent way too much time on it. Anyway in the spirit of active rain, which I think is about sharing ideas and thought, I figured this would be my contribution and anyone that needs the mortgage rates widget is free to use it. Here is a page I set up that describes how people can post mortgage interest rates tool on their website.

I posted about it last week over here http://activerain.com/blogsview/444644/Does-Anyone-Need-a.

Anyway I wanted to post an update. First off, after ignoring my wife for several weekends, while my obsession with mortgage rates grew I did indeed take the advice of rainers and finally took a break and take her out. Definitely good advice. And we saw a few friends we had not seen in awhile.

Anyway after that I posted some small updates to the tool and wanted to see what people thought.

Here is the old widget



Here is the new one

Basically I put in lines so it was easier to read the graph. I also made the lines a little thicker because that seemed to look a little better. I also took out the text at the bottom. Anyway I was wondering if people liked the old version better or the new version.
