I made a BLIDGET for my BLOG!

From a Twitter tip I went to www.WidgetBox.com and created a Blidget! What is that? I didn't even know before I made it. It's a WIDGET for BLOG.

Here's how it came out:

It automatically feeds from my AR blog. Cool, huh!!! I chose to allow the graphics as part of the blidget also.

Oh yeah, did I mention that it's FREE! (although they try to get you to upgrade to their paid version)

Now if I can only figure out how to get this Blidget on my web site! Guess that'll be tomorrow's post...

Very nice. I wonder what you get for the upgrade? Anyway, it's always good to get the word out about your blog. Good SEO juice.

Looks good! Thanks for posting. There are so many cool widgets to put on blogs and websites. Just have to make time to add them :-)

I've done this for quite awhile. To put it on your web site just get the code from widgetbox and paste it into the web page where you want it to show up. Really easy.

Very interesting but when Regina says it feeds ALL your posts, does that mean the ones intended for members only too?

Leslie, thanks for your tip, I'm going to try it out. The problem is that I'm using a template web site... but I'm sure I'll figure it out...

To answer Robin's question in her comment, it appears that it does not feed Member's Only posts to the blidget.

Jim, thanks for answering that question! You're probably much more experienced than I am at this blidget thing!

Hi Regina,

Did you get your blidget to your web site. Does it work with AR? Have you seen the music player? It can be found at
www.Playlist.com . I did create a playlist and found the link to use, just do not know where or how to post it in blog or website.

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Regina,

I got one of those a while back - you also get google juice with it - some times that site comes up in searches and there is my widget. Also I noticed that about 15 people(?) have downloaded my blidget - where, I don't know, but it is OK with me!

You can use the embed code to put it on your website.

Toula - go to the widget site and create yours, then you will see the 'embed code.' Copy it, and then go to the settings page on your AR blog. Paste it in the description box under all of that other junk you see. Save the changes and there it is.

Hi Regina - hope you don't mind me answering the question!
