We Are Widget-Able!

Published by m.nilges under meta, widgets

We all know that we need five servings of widget-ables a day, so make this blog one of them (doing so will also keep you updated on the latest research in the field of bad puns).

If you like the way the widgets on the bottom of the right sidebar look (Arts&Letters Daily, etc.) we have good news for you! This blog is now available as a widget as well. (Actually, the correct term for a blog widget is “blidget,” but then the sophisticated pun in the intro line would not have worked.) Simply click on the black button that says “get my blog as a widget” and install this nifty little feature on your facebook page, your own blog, your RSS reader, or even your desktop. If you don’t like the glossy black, minimalist design, you can even customize our widget to fit your taste.

Apart from being a convenient feature for you, adding our blog as a widget to your facebook pages etc. will greatly help us promote this blog, increase our traffic, thus helping us invite people to participate in our discussions and expand this information database.

A Note on Widgets

Published by m.nilges under blogging, meta, widgets

If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will find three widgets posted in the right sidebar (Arts&Letters Daily, etc.). These widgets allow you to easily keep updated on new posts on these websites that should provide students with constantly updated examples of book/film reviews, online/blog critical writing, and literary/cultural criticism. Some servers or browser setups will for some reason not allow you to see the widgets and the page will only show a small key that will allow you to sign up with widgetbox. Signing up will enable you to see these and other widgets, but if you are hesitant to do so, you can also access the same content via the “old-school” links to these sites provided in the “Blogroll” section of the right sidebar (I added the links for these three sites).
