offtype.net Art widget (Goog Gadget)

by Derek Anderson	Stumble this!	October 30th 2006

offtype.net has taken their online art creator software and created offtype.net Google gadget. Sweet!

This is cool!
1. registration: There is no registration! Sweet!
2. Use: There is no need for instructions, it’s that easy to use.
3. Hosting: The art that you create and save is hosted by offtype.net so you can display it anywhere.

This is OK!
1. Features: One feature from the original offtype.net online art program is missing in the widget (fine tune color selector)
2. Google: Google gadgets are cool but at times I think too limited in customizations.
3. Code: This widget uses Javascript. Only certain blog hosts allow Javascript. (sorry MySpace users)

This is a bummer!
1. Customizations: Having width and height options that result in scroll bars on a widget is pointless. Especially with this widget. This is a Google Gadget fault, not offtype.net
2.Brush options: I wish there were more brush options such as square, star, triangle etc…
3. Help: There is no help page of FAQ page for the noobies out there. Either on the Gadget page or offtype.net

Overall
I love this widget. I had found one earlier but it was on a Japanese page and my Japanese is very rusty. The best feature of this widget is the save and host free option. So simple, almost too simple. Enjoy!

offtype.net also has a version of their art program for download and installation. It offers the same great free hosting.

1. What do you mean by “Bump It”?

   Nice site though! I’m tryin to get into blogging - and all the addon sites I found are old and not up to-date.
