ShowYourself Widget
I’ve been working on something new for the past 2 days, and today I released it. I really think it’s cool and very useful. It’s called ShowYourself. ShowYourself is a widget creation utility for your blog or Myspace. Simply fill in your username to popular web 2.0 sites and it will pop out some html code for you to copy and paste. You can even download the images and host them yourself to insure speed and uptime from your own server. Check out the page and make your own. Let me know if you have any questions or feature requests.

I’ll be posting later in more detail. For now, enjoy and spice up your blog. Check out the digg story too.

  • queryoon,

    I just rewrote a lot of the code to use a completelyl css version and table-less version. It also strips all of the javascript out of the widget. It will be released shortly. Check the blog to see when.

    This seems really useful. I've been on the internet for one month now, and have three sheets of paper scribbled with different account names. Web 2.0 is mind expanding--four different names scattered over twenty accounts are mind exploding. Just one more thing...how do I use it? I was hoping it would be in the toolbar.
  • nice widget, but err.. i think it's better to have it not on the onClick ;)
  • I've copied the code to the sidebar (pasting it in a text box sidebar widget) and all i get is the code itself. :/. Is it because of that "wordpress-script-in-sidebar-intolerance"?
    thanks.
  • What a great widget !!!

    I'd like to add to Jordan's list.
    If you include bloglines, diigo and furl, I could keep track of everything in one place. Amazing.

    Thanks
  • Very nice work, I look forward to putting it on my site.
  • Good stuff! Here are some others you could add, if you were so inclined? :D
