Make Your Blog a Blidget

SageMother · 08-02-2007, 05:36 PM

I was cruising through widget box and made a couple of my blogs into "Blidgets"..or blog widgets. I was a snap! Once you make yours it can be placed in the gallery with others. I think it might be a great way to get some passive advertising going.

You always seem to come up with interesting things. Could you please explain more about this and of course offer links?

The site is called Widgetbox. Anyone can go pick out a Widget, which is a box that displays just about anything that can be reduced to short code, like a snippet. You choose the widget you want by looking through a gallery.

Turning your blog into a "blidget" is placing your blog's feed into widget form. You have the options of choosing a few things about its display, like color of the widget box, how much information is provided, ect. Example

Once you make your "blidget", you can include it in the gallery with others, so that other folks can choose to use it!

What is a widgetblog? I honestly have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds interesting. Can someone dumb it down for me so i get it?

It is a box of code that displays your blog entries on someone else's page.

I knew about widgetbox they have some excellant widgets. My problem is instead of opening over your site they take you off site when you click on a link.

That is pretty cool. I will try it out. It was also good thinking having your blidgets go back and forth to each other.

Can you make a widget that lists your for sell sites?

YOu probably have to look at the FAQ section at Widgetbox because I have no clue.
