Widgetize your Blog!

Tuesday, July 18, 2006 9:42:46 AM

If you've been wanting to have a Widget for your My Opera blog, now is your chance! We've added to each blog a new "Widgetize" icon in the address bar and footer of every blog. If you're using Opera 9, just click the link and your own Widget magically* appears.

This is a great way to keep tabs on all your friend's Opera blogs, as well as any unread news items you've selected.

Sweet. It looks really good. I can't find the icon on my address bar, but the one on the footer works, and it looks great.

I think it's "address field". As the picture suggests.

UPDATE: Awesome widget! http://widgets.opera.com/widgetize/

Oh hells yeah! this one is great

tinhoy # Wednesday, July 19, 2006 12:25:11 AM

Totally totally awesome. Thanks Opera folks!

BTW, is there anyway to make the expand/shrink instant? The animation's a bit slow on my box...and being an Opera user it's like an eternity!

How can I add such a widget for my own site?

milomilo317 # Wednesday, July 19, 2006 8:13:08 AM

coo new tech, like it a lot, is there a possibility to add the widgetize to my wp blog http://peety-passion.com/milo/ ? if it so, please drop me a line...

NoobSaibot # Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:51:18 AM

@milo317: this line seems to be responsible for this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/x-opera-widgets" href="http://widgets.opera.com/widgetize/Feed Reader/Advanced/?serve&amp;skin=skin13&amp;widgetname=NoobSaibots I/O&amp;rel=myopera&amp;ref=NoobSaibot" />

Hey Milo317,
how about trying our brand new Widgetize service? It's live!

I didn't really buy into widgets that much when they first appeared but I have to say, this (widget auto-discovery) and "widgetize" are really cool!

@self...re: animation speed
edit script.js and bump up the sp variable to 100

or if that's not fast enough, edit animation.js and hack out the animations altogether.

now if only i knew enough to put a toggle in the "about" flip.
