January 26th, 2007FeedBurner and Springwidgets Brand your RSS widget
January 26th, 2007Feedburner.com and SpringWidgets.com work together to help bloggers brand their RSS feeds into a widget.
Here is the FeedBurner + SpringWidgets overview link. Check it out!
This is the logo that I was trying to incorporate.
(thumbnail) I would suggest a smaller image and make sure that it has a lowercase .jpg file extension. Uppercase will not work! (yet)
Also, if you would like to add Widgets Lab news to your MySpace or others…just click on the link at the bottom of the widget. Or Get This Widget
Due to slowing load times, I am reducing the amount of widgets displayed
January 25th, 2007My slow page load experience on a 3meg high speed connection can only indicate that others are having difficulty as well.
So… I am going to reduce the number of active widgets displayed.
My plans are to keep these widgets:
–MyBlogLog recent visitors (permanent. Unless Yahoo wrecks it)
–Plugoo (because it has allowed me to help many users)
–PollDaddy (because it has performed flawlessly since day one)
–Possibly some form of chat at the bottom of the page. (I still need to find the perfect fit)
I want to incorporate a section of the sidebar for a “Featured Widget“. Something I really like and find useful.
Any suggestions for featured widgets are welcome. Either leave a comment or email me.

January 23rd, 2007Box.net is a secure online storage location. They have over 500,000 registered users, serving millions of files around the world.
Box.net offers 1 GB FREE secure online storage. If you need more space. Their plans start at $4.99 per month.
Box.net allows you to share files with anyone. Using the Box.net Sharing widget. This awesome little widget allows you to display and share the files that you have uploaded to Box.net. You have complete control over which files are available for sharing. I believe you can also set a password for restricted access.

So far I have uploaded two files. Both are Windows .exe files.
1. Easy Clean is a Windows cleaning tool that I really like. (no longer FREE)
