The possibilities are almost endless with this widget. This is the easiest way to personalize your blog, even better than choosing a special Theme.
Remember how to embed media to your blog into a post or a page? This will do it in your sidebar! Here are SOME of the things you can do with this:
- Flickr Slideshow (along with Picasa, Photobucket, or other appropriate photo sharing sites)
- Google Maps
- Google Calendar
- WeberTube Videos, along with other video sites that are approved like KSL Clips
- Webcam - I used to have mine up, but I'm always out of my office......
- Song of your choice
- Any appropriate media that gives you the EMBED html code
Best of all, you don't have to choose just one. You can put ALL of these on there at once, and have them line up vertically on top of each other.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE POST THEM HERE. Let's share our ideas with each other.
Watch this video to get an idea how it works.
Thanks for all the help you give us. You should have let us know you were playing. That was awesome. Do you give guitar lessons? Seriously, my son wants to learn.

ReplyDeleteI do/have given guitar lessons on and off, it's just very difficult to find time now.
Thanks Justin R. I think I'm going to mess around with those twitter widgets a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat video - very helpful. I look forward to exploring your blog more.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I found the link to your blog on Twitter. I would like to give credit but I can't remember who posted it:-(
Thank you for the compliment, Joan. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a million for all of your tutorials on blogging! I am going to try out some of the new stuff! I will let you know if I get stuck or have some questions? I was wondering about adding a widget from goodwidgets.com? Is that possible?
ReplyDeleteHI - me again Nicki..I added a widget to the right sidebar on my blog, and then I could not find where my pages went??? I have the choice to add one on sidebar 1 or 2...and when I do that it takes away what is on that sidebar. Did I do something wrong? Maybe my theme isn't a good one for widgets...let me know- if I need to change my theme I will. Thanks for helping me! Just trying to get my blog up to par before I go back to school on wed..I have been off on maternity... talk to you soon! ME
ReplyDeleteSweet, that's precisely what I was shooting for! You just spared me alot of searching around
