Anyone can create a widget!

I just saw the great movie "Ratatouille" from Pixar, where the chef Gusteau's philosophy stated that anyone can cook! I need to follow his steps, 'cause along the new WidSets service I want to shout about - Anyone can create a widget!

If you want quickly, I mean really quicky, create a widget for your friend's blog for example - it's an easy job!

Login to the website and go to "My profile" page and you will find there "Create a new widget". Click that link on your left and...

1. Give a name to the widget
2. Paste the RSS feed or website url

And that's it!

WidSets will provide a proposal for the looks of the widget. If you like the proposed style for the widget - you're done and ready to use the widget on your own dashbord.

If you want to change colors and effects for something else, it's easy to do with the template. Just follow the simple instructions.

Only in that case, that you want to publish the widget to the Library, you need to upload a new picture for the widget. This is just to avoid the situation that all widgets would be looking the same in the widget Library.

Drop a line to the Forum, if you have any problems with creating new widgets!

Cheers,
Taina

FAQ: What is RSS feed?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed" or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text.
RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.

Hi,

we checked this out and could not locate any continuous problem to this page. If you try again, does it load now? All people in here, this works ok. Let me know if still keeps failing.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble. We do our best to stabilize the service all the time.

Hi,

do you have Flash Player installed on your PC? That's needed for this page as well for the animation on the WidSets homepage.

You can get Flash Player from Adobe page:

Let me know if this helps you!
