The DailyKos Widget

I created this widget as a contribution to the DailyKos community. When you place the widget on your Blog or social network page you will have a handy rotating display of headlines from DailyKos. So will all of your site’s visitors.

The widget is free and easy to install. Just click the “Get & Share” button at the bottom of the widget and select a service from those displayed. Or you can select “Embed” to get the code to paste onto your page. That’s it!

I am presenting this as a sort of proof of concept. It can be replicated for any web site with an RSS feed (including this one). It could also use mixed feeds. And there are many ways to alter the look, feel, and purpose. Think creatively.

Hopefully, technology like this can be used to expand the reach of alternative media. It can spread important messages to the many corners of the InterTubes™. Given the state of the media, we all need to think of ways to multiply our voices, and the creative use of widgets is one way to do that.

If you like this widget, you can get more information here.

    We use a shareable installable Widgetbox widget for the recent posts list on OOIBC.

  3. That I would put up.

  4. I have had enough of DailyKos over at DailyKos I sure as hell don’t want more of it here.  But that’s just me. The atmosphere is rancid and toxic over there at the moment.  But then I have nothing to do with decisoins made anywhere except in my own head.

  5. … skip reading the dKos at all on many days as long as you have the subject lines on a scroll.
