New widgets: mini badges & blog sidebar widgets
Jan 17, 07:35 am PST
Slideshare is getting widgetised! We’ve got tons of feedback from our users asking for diff kinds of widgets. So we have added a “Widgets” tab to our top navigation. This takes you to the widgets page where you can (currently) choose from two types- the Mini Badges & the Blog Sidebar Widget.
Mini Badges: These provide a way of linking to your slideshare presentations from your blog or website; the badges are small and can fit in just about anywhere…. examples below
Blog Sidebar Widget: These are essentially slideshow feeds that can be embedded into your blog’s sidebar; you can choose to show your own slideshare presentations, or from your favorites, groups, events etc. You can also show slides from a particular tag. Just grab the embed code and put into your blog’s sidebar template…examples below
We plan to add a couple of other widgets to our collection…stay tuned. And do let us know how you liked the current ones!

I like Blog Sidebar Widget!
If it’s possible I prefer an horizontal format or better a dinamic button like the Flickr one you can find e.g. top left at http://labyrinth.ilmito.org/
Thanks!

Thanks for adding the widgets. I guess they will be lapped up by the users soon.
How about doing something for users like me who do not have a blog (I hope you do not say ‘create one!’)
Or maintain one (too lazy, rather than too busy to do - to be honest!)

Great tools, I like them! I’ll try to implement one of the tools in our blog.
Thank you!
