On my post How To Add a PayPal Button, Peter Testa asked me how to add widgets to his Active Rain blog. I know this was a question I too had at one time, so I thought I would do a quick how to.
The very first step is to see Brad Andersohn/Active Brad's post Approved Widgets to see if AR allows a particular widget.
Once you get through that hurdle, you need to get the script code for the widget. There is often information for this on the widgets themselves. For instance, on the Local Schools Widget, there is a link at the bottom of the widget, that you allows you to get one of your own.
Once you have the code, go to your home page on AR.
Then click on settings on the left hand side of your home page.
Then paste the widget script code in "Blog Description". Where you paste it in the description determines where it shows up on your blog.
Finally, click "Update" and your widget should now appear on your blog site. Have fun, but keep in mind that too many widgets may slow down the loading speed of your page and frustrate viewers.
