Get A Twitter Button

July 3rd, 2009

tmpE2

Nothing better than having a self explanatory Blog Post Title that also happens to be the Service Name and Website Domain. Since there is never too many Twitter Button generators. Here is another one.

tmpE3

Get A Twitter Button will present you with a simple one click form and will offer you 34 Twitter Button choices (at the moment of this writing) with embed codes that get updated with more of them every now and then. so if you need a Twitter Button for your blog and you haven’t found one you like. maybe this generator will be the one to have it.

Here is a live preview for the Widgets Lab Twitter account if you want to kill two birds with one stone ;) :

June 29th, 2009

tmp36

Amberjack is a useful idea to replace or enhance your About page in your blog. It is meant as a way to demo important parts or important posts in your blog. while giving out a short description on why the part/post in question is important/representative of your blog.

tmp38

A simple,yet versatile idea to enhance the user experience in your blog visitors.the tour is not forced and it is opt-in, so no user will be annoyed in the process. it is meant for those curious enough about your blog to call up the widget.

tmp37

The Widget is skinnable and comes with 6 default skins to try out. you can make your own if you know CSS in order to get the look to your liking.

tmp3B

But i think the best feature is that you can even quickly add a embedded video, form or audio to your widget making it even more useful and personal.

tmp3C

To get the Amberjack widget for your blog or website you use a simple wizard form in the Amberjack site. no need of registration, no nothing. it is there right away for use it and get your widget code to go.

Amberjack is free and open source so you can use it and modify it to your liking without any worry. i personally like the widget idea and think anyone with a blog should try it out.

Mofuse Regular Visitor Count Chicklet

September 15th, 2008

tmp2A6

Almost two months ago i posted about Widgets Lab being Mobile Ready thanks to Mofuse. the mofuse service works simply by loading WidgetsLab.com in a Mobile Phone. this is something that everyone can use. but if you still need a little more incentive maybe a chicklet would be enough to peek your curiosity for the service.

This chicklet just like the one from feedburner will show your average number of visitor you had since you started using mofuse up to now. so it is not a daily mobile site counter but a regular visitor counter. the number of visitor that are engaged with your blog in a daily basis.

And if you thought there were not enough badges. they also got some more now:

Windows Live Messenger IM Control

August 5th, 2008

There are already some Chat to IM widgets around and that get quite a lot of use. but pretty much all of them are from third parties. they are made as a communication gateway for a third party Multi IM client. that is of course good on itself and we will see more of them later but first i want to talk a little about Windows Live Messenger IM Control or Live IM Control for short.

This is a First party Widget, well Gadget since it is from Windows Live. that connect with Windows Live Messenger. The Widget is meant for you to use it in your blog or your website if your primary IM client is Live Messenger and there is close to 40% of a chance that may be the case.

And just like the Widgets from third parties its goal is pretty much the same. to let you connect with your readers, friends or clients depending where and how you may want to use it.

Using it is simple and you only need to follow these steps:

1.-Login to your Live Messenger web settings:

Go to this page and log in with the Live ID you use for Live Messenger

http://settings.messenger.live.com/Applications/WebSettings.aspx

2.-Change your Live Messenger web settings:

tmpDD

Activate the option that says “Allow anyone on the web to see my presence and send me messages”

3.-Choose your desired Live Messenger IM control

Go to the Create HTML page and  choose your preferred version

http://settings.messenger.live.com/Applications/CreateHtml.aspx

tmpDE

I.- IM Window

This is the full version and will operate directly in your page

II.-Button

This will show if you are online and allow a browser window to be launched in order to use the Live IM Control widget

III.-Status Icon

Will only show if you are online or not

4.-If you choose the IM Window version you can also customize your Live IM control Widget

Choose you desired size and Color, the HTML code will update once you do

tmpDF

5.-Paste and Start using it

Place it in your blog, your social network profile or you website and start using it.

This whole process can be done in 3 minutes. so there you go.

I will place on in this post in order to demo it. i am not sure if i will have it here in the blog but it will be living here in this blog post.
