When we launched the Widgetbox Blog Network a couple weeks ago, you probably noticed that the Sports Channel was powered by Yardbarker.com.

Well today, we have officially launched the Yardbarker Network Widget – which features the best content from Yardbarker’s network of 600+ sports blogs. You can create your own widget by choosing either a favorite team or sport. The widget then is dynamically updated with the freshest, most popular content from Yardbarker.

You can create your own widget by visiting Yardbaker and if you are a sports blogger, you are encouraged to join the Yardbarker Network and have your content seen by their network’s 10,000,000 monthly uniques.

The deal is exclusive, meaning if you want to participate in the Widgetbox Sports Channel, you’ll also need to join Yardbarker.
