Share Your Blog, Twitter Updates, or YouTube Videos with Widgetbox Blidgets

Pioneered by Widgetbox, Blidgets are widgets built from your feed-based content: a blog feed + a widget = a blidget!

Simply enter in your blog or feed-based address (URL) and your feed will automatically be converted into a Blidget you can share with others.

Examples of content feeds that can go into a Blidget include:

• Blogs
• Twitter updates or favorites
• Flickr photostreams
• YouTube videos
• And more!

As with all of our widgets, Blidgets can be placed just about anywhere: MySpace, Blogger, Facebook, TypePad, iGoogle or your favorite website.

To further customize your Blidget and take advantage of some just-released features, Go Pro.

The new features available to Pro subscribers include:

1. Feature Pro templates in-Blidget. Pro users can use template widgets to easily create customized content such as slideshows, polls, forms, or countdowns, and include that content as separate in-Blidget tabs.
2. Include different scrollbar designs or opt to hide the scrollbar. Choose from three distinct scrollbar designs—or opt not to display a scrollbar altogether.
3. Limit the number of posts or videos that appear. Pro users can decide how many posts they want to appear in their Blidget—as few as one post or as many as they'd like to share.

Get the Most Out of Your Thanksgiving Holiday with Widgetbox

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and that means it’s time to start planning your Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.

Widgetboxer Erika Campos of San Francisco has been using Widgetbox to help her plan her annual Thanksgiving dinner for the past two years. We asked her to give us the details of some of the widgets she’s using this year to help her plan the big day.

• The first thing I did this year was to install a Thanksgiving countdown widget. It took less than five minutes to install the widget on my blog and social media profiles. Every time I check my pages it’s there to keep me organized and focused.


• Next I installed the party planning widget. It’s definitely a must for any type of party or event planning. There’s a direct link to Evite.com to help with email invitations, up to the minute weather forecasts, and party planning tips.


• Every year I try to introduce a new recipe or two, so the recipe widgets are great for giving me new ideas to try. My favorites are the Epicurious and Chow.com widgets. They give me recipes from Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and other renowned food magazines. This year the new recipes I’m trying are: Cider Glazed Turkey, Brown Butternut Squash Couscous, and Spiced Apple Cupcakes.


• Finally on the day of Thanksgiving I like to send all my family and friends Thanksgiving postcards—especially those who won't be able to make it to dinner—just to let them know that I have been thinking about them
