Launch Time! Invite friends (stuck?: now you have a place to talk about it..)
May 11

In the past few days I was busy with trying to build all kinds of widgets for bloggers using Wix, and I thought it would be great to share them with you (our users). Got ideas for new widgets? comment about them here, lets try to do them as well…

1.
The “where i am” widget (see here, my personal one )
As you can see, I just took all kinds of icons (we will supply Wix icons to known Social networks and services very soon) and linked them to the right place. The fun thing is that you can:

  • Customize the way your widget looks like (colors, effects, sounds)
  • Fit the size of the widget to your blog/profile/whatever…
  • Add more icons to your widget the moment you join a new service (and you will!) and the Wix will be updated wherever you embedded it.

2. Sport widget: your favorite players, your favorite groups, you can embed it into your profile and change it following the changes in real life… (see example here )

3. Countdown widget: you’ve got a big campaign coming up? are you starting a new project that you want people to notice? are you planing to launch a new album? new song? new something? why not let Wix promote it?Or simply put: comment to your friends with Wix-countdown widgets, and it will update everyday or every time you want it to (use it as banner, newsletter…) you can see how the Anarchist Music Project A.N.A use it in MySpace press here.

    Does the site have the ability to publish a calendar? I am trying to build a site for my neighbor, who is an artist, and I would like to include his art show schedule on the site but give him the ability to update it via Google Calendar or iCal without having to go and adjust the site. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
