BUZZYEAH Adds Two New Widgets: Recent Posts, Google Reader Shared Items

Posted by Andrew Meyer on January 28, 2008

About two weeks ago, I posted a guide to BUZZYEAH's left sidebar. The guide took you through a quick tour of the widgets on my left sidebar, explaining what they did and why I thought they were useful to you the reader.

Since then I have removed two of the widgets: MyBlogLog & Google Subscribed Links (I explain the reasoning in the "guide" post).

And...

I have added two new widgets to my left sidebar, which I think are great additions to BUZZYEAH's limited sidebar real estate.

The first widget is Widgetbox's "Recent Posts" widget. I think this should instead be called the "King of All Blog Widgets" widget.

It's simply amazing.

Check it out (near the top of BUZZYEAH's left sidebar):

All widgets could learn a thing or two from the Widgetbox "Recent Posts" widget.

It's functional, clean and highly viral.

You can click the "Add Widget" button near the widget's bottom and it gives you the option to add the widget to your MySpace page, Blogger blog, Typepad blog, Wordpress blog etc. It also gives you the option to share a specific post on Facebook or email it to a friend.

If you want to manually place the widget's code on your blog or website, you have the option of grabbing either the javascript code or flash embed code. Also, you have the choice of customizing the widget's layout, colors etc for your own blog or website.

The second widget I've added in the past two weeks: Shared Items on Google Reader

Check it out (near the bottom of BUZZYEAH's left sidebar):

This widget is really cool because it lets BUZZYEAH readers see what blogs I'm reading and shows what material I find interesting. Feel free to view my Google Reader Shared Items page here.
