New TypePad Widgets
TypePad, Six Apart's blog hosting service, has just introduced TypePad widgets.
Through TypePad widgets, users can add a select group of features to their blog. For example, you can add a Eurekster Swicki, just like the tag cloud on the left pane of Content Matters, or add Rollyo, Feedburner, Pandora or any of more than 30 widgets.
Previously, the only way to add these to a TypePad blog was a somewhat arcane hack of creating a list, leaving a blank title then pasting the javascript or html code into the contents. TypePad has eliminated the need for the hack (at least for the list of widgets they support), which should enable more people to use them.
If you’ve got a blog and are looking to add more functionality, take a look. If you'd like to create your own TypePad widget, you can submit a request to Six Apart.
