At Widgetbox, we believe anyone should be able to make great widgets and we strive to build fun and easy widget creation tools for our community. We just added a new feature that allows you to create a widget by pasting any code snippet into our Make a Widget page. Any settings provided in the snippet, usually unknown to the user, can be parsed out and modified easily before saving.

We see code snippets everywhere, from Youtube to Slideshare, as these sites attempt to give their users a way to put content from their site onto their users’ websites. The problem with this is the level of technical prowess required is often above their average users and the places upon which code snippets can be placed is limited.  Widgetizing this content is far easier and gives you a more powerful and flexible way to bring this content to your page. Combined with the added benefits of widget analytics, ability for it to be spread virally and additional exposure your widget will get when it’s registered in the Widgetbox Gallery make putting your content into Widgetbox a no-brainer!

Happy Widgetizing!
