Blog Widget?
I really like your Google widget. Do you have code for a similar widget that I could put on my blog? I'd love to have your book of the day on my blog. Thanks!

Inappropriate?Actually, you can use the ICDL "book of the day" gadget on your blog. Just include the following HTML anywhere in your blog, and the gadget should show up.
<script src="http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.childrenslibrary.org/library/basic/icdl-book-of-day.xml&up_showlink=1&up_color=green&synd=open&w=200&h=200&title=Children's+Book+of+the+Day&border=%23ffffff%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%2399BB66%7C0px%2C2px+solid+%23AACC66%7C0px%2C2px+solid+%23BBDD66&output=js">
You can see an example of this use at my home page.
I’m happy you like the gadget.

Inappropriate?Thanks so much Ben. I'll have to see if I can make it narrower somehow (too wide for my sidebar), or find another spot for it, like the footer perhaps. Thank you! By the way, I think ICDL is a wonderful project.
I’m happy that I can use the widge on my blog.

Inappropriate?You should have a bit of flexibility with it's dimensions. Try changing the number embedded deep in that HTML from "w=200" to "w=150" (or change the height by changing "h=200" to "h=150", or something like that. Although, last I tried that trick, Google was a little fussy about resizing it.

Inappropriate?Hi Ben,
I narrowed down the width to 150 and it fits. At first I had a problem with some strange post overflow into the sidebar below where the widget was placed. I moved it over to the left sidebar and put it higher than the bottom of the sidebar and it appears OK for now (in Firefox and Safari anyhow). This is probably more detail than you needed, but I hope this discussion helps someone else too. Thanks again!
