We've just expanded our community to include blog widgets! If you look at the community site, you'll see a new tab which takes you to our blogs section. This area of the site allows you to view our collection of featured, top rated and recently added blogs. If you don't see a blog that you like, or if you simply want to customize the look and feel of a blog widget, all you have to do is click on the "add a blog widget" link, and follow the prompts. Your widget with the specific blog content that you defined will now exist in our community for others to use, rate and comment on!
More exciting releases coming up, so stay tuned!

Blog widget does not work on MySpace? The widget appears, but links to blog postings don't do anything. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong?

Unfortunately MySpace blocks outbound links... that means that any widget placed on myspace can't launch a new window to display content as our widget normally does. Unfortunately it's a MySpace "security" feature.

This is pretty slick. One note for your dev team. I want to create a desktop widget of a rss feed not a blog. I can't seem to get the blog widget creator to accept my yahoo pipe page or its rss feed. I can easily do that by making my own start page, but really I want to share the widget with others and publish it like your other blog widgets. As far as I can tell I can't make widgets other than the blog one.
