Another new "TOY" for Stage It Forward Members

By
Industry Observer

 With Stage It Forward on the Go and on the Grow... I thought it might be good to have yet another new FREE "toy" for members to use to show their affiliation to one of the busiest groups on Active Rain.

This new "toy" is a custom widget... which is a little tool that you can add to any blog or website.

The Stage It Forward widget will continuously and automatically update and display the most current posts written and published in Stage It Forward... including yours!

The default widget color, dark blue, can be seen under my profile on the right side of this post. (This is a live working example.) But if you don't like dark blue or the shape doesn't fit your site, the great thing about this Stage It Forward widget is that it can be customized.

How do you get this free widget? Just go here: Get the Stage It Forward Widget and play around a bit until you make the widget you like best. Then follow the instructions on how to add a SIF widget to your site.

So what are the other "toys" in the Stage It Forward toy box?

     - Stage It Forward Gateway site... was the first "toy" that makes it easy for colleagues and clients to directly find the SIF group, without trying to maneuver through what can be a confusing "front page" of Active Rain.

     - The second "toy" was a SIF Member Button that members can add to a blog page or website. It and easy way to show your affiliation and involvement to the the largest independent network of professional Home Stagers in the USA and Canada.

Have fun playing and remember to...

Move It Forward.

I have to admit Craig, you are a hero here and for good reason.  What I don't understand is how you haven't been on Oprah yet to show them how to do it for real!!!  Do you have anyone in your networking group that knows a producer?

Rhonda and Margaret: I usually wake up with an idea for a blog (like I did today at 4AM) and have learned to just go and write... cause if I don't I'll just not sleep anyway cause I I just end up writing it in may head.

WHY I do it? Because I KNOW staging works I I want to get as many of my ideas out there so we look like a united industry... because as you know appreances matter.

Sorry Tina no Oprah... Nate fills the creative design shoes on her show for her.

Karen, you can put the widget here on your blog or on on your website. Same with the SIF Member button if you like... like you did with the CSP logo, the Acitive Rain logo and the RESA logo.

3C: Thanks and ahhhhh shucks.
