Who’s mug is in your widget?

Posted on July 17th, 2007 in Widgets | 17 Comments »

I first wanted to name this post, “Who’s mug is in your box?”, but that can probably be taken the wrong way…

I never really paid a lot of attention to how many times I’ve actually checked my Mybloglog widget box to see all kinds of names, old and new. It is definitely a treat to see a lot of new faces coming to my blog to have a look around.

If you haven’t gotten a widget for this cool service yet, what are you waiting for? We are all a little voyeuristic in a sense and I can’t help to reload my page on high traffic days just to see who’s taking a peek at what I have to say. I guess it goes along with being addicted to stats.

Who’s mug have you seen in your widget lately? Have you hopped around to see who visits other blogs in your community? Any surprising mugs you’ve noticed?

To widget or not to widget?

That is the question and here is some food for thought.

A few weeks ago, I looked at widgets like they were an alien life force invading my blog. I didn’t know what to do with these widgets and couldn’t figure them out. Sometimes I may be mentally retarded, but this one had escaped me. So, I deleted any reference to these widgets in my sidebars and anywhere else they decided to pop up.

With Wordpress 2.2 being widget-ready/friendly, I decided to give it a try. Hey, it beats coding all that junk on your own.

Widgets are simple, really. All you have to do is drag and drop the widget of choice to wherever your placement is on the sidebar, and shazaam, you’re done. Hit save and you’re good to go.

With Copyblogger being my theme of choice now, widgetizing this blog has never been easier. Also, everything just looks so niiiiiiiice.
