How to embed widgetbox.com widgets

Posted by: admin | February 29, 2008 | No Comment |

Widgetbox.com is becoming a popular place to find widgets to put on your blogs. In the past Widgetbox used a special Sidebar Widget plugin to run its widgets.

A couple weeks ago Widgetbox dropped support for their Sidebar widget and now allows you to copy and paste the embed code directly into a SideBar Widget Text Box.

To embed a Widgetbox Widget follow these instructions.

1. Create your widget at widgetbox.com

2. Find the Add To area and click on the Wordpress image (A blue and white W)
