New plugin: MyBlogLog

A few days ago, I created a MyBlogLog account but did not activated completely the plugin here at that time. My WordPress and theme(default) were no compatible with widgets and I had to change a few things first. Note that WordPress 2.2 is compatible with widget.

This morning, after copying over sidebar.php, functions.php but I did take a backup of both files before. I was able to see the new plugin. At first, I lost everything I had setup on my sidebar. It's a drag and drop setup with almost no need to write code for the many widgets(post, page, search...). Once you setup the sidebar like you want, you can add a Text widget.

The key was to add a Text widget and insert part of the html from my old sidebar. I added a few of them. Once you understand the concept, it's easy. The only thing I don't like so far is that I can't rename the widget. For example, I wanted "Publicity banners" instead of Text 2. Also, you should remove <li></li> but you can keep<br> and should be ok. I also lost the Most viewed post and did not found a way to bring it back. I did installed the latest version of that plugin. I will add new things later on.

You can now join my new community.

The other advantage is that people are more incline to click on the widget to visit you thus new traffic for you. Every little things help!
