Published Authors Network

I set up the Published Authors Network on August 5th 2007. Three days later I posted my first blog after I'd created my first widget on widget.com. I wanted to share the feature with the members here, but it was early days and we had less than 50 members. Now we have over 400 members so I thought I would tell everyone just how hard my blog widget has been working for me without me doing anything. This is the widget:



These are the stats for the widget:

Hits: 5,198 total Subscriptions: 22 total

I also created a widget for my website:



These are the stats for the widget:

Hits: 64 yesterday, 4,899 total Subscriptions: 18 total

I also created a widget for my MySpace blog on springwidgets.com:



Widgets work hard for you and are easy to set up. Make your own widgets and add them to your web sites, blogs and networking pages.

Sounds interesting, but from what you've said (I might be too dense, or old)...but I have no idea what a Widget is, how one participates, and what it does.

I'm glad to see that there are those that know about widgets and how they work.

I'm still in the dark.

I'm with you WR Park. I have heard of widgets but I don't know where to get them or how to make them. Shelagh, could you tell us more about widgets?

Shelagh, for some of us you're talking a foreign language and we need specific information.

Me too. I'd like to use it. Is it hard to set up?

Most of us seem to be on the same page, and it isn't the page you are on, Shelagh!! Care to give us some detailed instruction? LOL

Yes, please explain further. I've heard the word, but I don't know what it means either. How can they help us gain attention for our books?

I don't know what a widget is
I've even tried to guess
But all that I came up with
Just wouldn't pass the test
It isn't quite like smidgeon
N

or like much that I know Oh Shelagh please do tell us
What's a widget so we can grow
