Now that you know how to add a widget to your blog, you might want to check out www.widgetbox.com. On that site you have a huge collection of thousands of widgets - and you can even create a widget of your own blog, so others can add your latest entries to their blogs. How cool's that?

Adding a widget is failry easy. At Widgetbox, you can preview the widget before adding it, then create one specific for your blog. You can even select width and height - at least those I've played around with offered those features (keep in mind the width of around 200 pixels for your standard blog sidebar). Next, you click "Get widget". A small list of options opens. There, choose "Get Widget Code". Then either copy the Javascript or the Flash code into your sidebar - as I described in the previous article. Should be up to you what code you copy, though I've taken the Javascript code.
