Get the New MyST Blogsite Widget on Widgetbox

Syndicate the latest news from MyST Blogsite using the cool new widget.

Widgets and gadgets are becoming more popular with the recent introduction of application frameworks such as iGoogle and OpenSocial, and these tools represent new ways to spread your message. Google Gadgets and WidgetBox are two of the most popular frameworks for creating gadget applications.

Google Gadgets and WidgetBox both provide universal components for syndicating blogsite content without requiring any significant gadgetry expertise. With just a little experimentation you can easily place your blogsite web feeds on your website or enable other sites to use your content. Gadgets can provide...

  • Direct syndication of MyST Blogsite channels (feeds, posts, etc) to any web page or the Google Desktop without any HTML, XML, or script programming.
  • Integration of MyST Blogsite channels into any post or site-wide Captyx component. This makes it possible to easily syndicate blog channels from one blogsite into any other blogsite without any programming.
  • Utilization of MyST Blogsite feeds without fear of too many requests or server overload issues. The Gadgets handle all caching and maintain compliance with MyST SlimeGate.
  • Fully configurable and brandable components.

Here is a new MyST Widgetbox widget that tracks the latest posting from the What's New channel at blogsite.com.  This widget can be easily dropped into any blog or web site.  Plus, you can very easily customize the color scheme, size, and whether to display just headlines or headlines with text (as shown here.)

An equally useful MyST Google Gadget is available to syndicate our What's New channel, but this gadget is designed to work with any MyST Blogsite feed by simply entering the channel ID into the configuration. This gadget also works in iGoogle, the personalized home page provided by Google.

If you have requirements for special gadgets or would like to create a branded gadget, don't hesitate to contact us.
