Widgets Now Work on PRblogs.org
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006Personalizing your sidebar has long been a request by users at PRblogs.org. Well, we’ve finally made that possible. This will add significant functionality and likely please existing and new users.
Fiddling with plugins, I’ve been able to get Widgets to work on PRblogs.org.
Pretty cool. Visit the example blog at widgets.prblogs.org to see how they look. In the sidebar, you will see - from the top:
- a text widget pointing to an image file,
- a text widget holding Constantin’s code to search for all PR blogs,
- the Google search widget,
- an RSS feed widget, and
- a del.icio.us feed widget.
Pretty nice, huh. Currently widgets only work on some themes. See below for those that work now. We’ll fix more up for you over the coming week.
I’ll be going through and identifying themes that will work with widgets. All don’t, by the way, and it will likely take awhile for “all” to be made widget friendly. But, I’ll come back and identify the ones I find that work both with widgets and WordPress MU, the versions of WordPress we are running at PRblogs.org.
I’ll consider adding other widgets, if you wish to suggest them. I’m thinking that I’ll not put the PHP execute widget in as that is a security issue. But, there are others out there and I’m open to considering them, if you wish.
Update: Themes that work with widgets on PRblogs.org are now these…
- WordPress Classic
- WordPress Default
- White as Milk
- Impact
- Clasikue_v1.1
- Clean Look
- Gespaa_v2
- Letterhead
- Equix
- Hiperminimalist

- and more to come…
