Caution: may not display correctly in Explorer – use at your own risk (till Explorer learns to behave, or till users learn not to use Explorer).

boing!!!??? RRXPuRR#%&*(ºª¶©

IMNSHO, this set of gigya shortcode is completely unsuitable for a food or cooking blog (or any other blog…):
mostly bordering too close to tasteless.
or the sixth grade class my husband has been substitute teaching for…
Sorry, but yuck…
LOL: go ahead, call me a snob!

Hehe… I wouldn’t put such stuff (or most of the other widgets I’ve given) in a blog of mine. But some users might like them – in a humorous blog they might be ok.

Your blog is about showing what is possible in wordpress.com, not necessarily about what is agreeable. That’s what I think!!

And btw, send me 20 dollars first. I need it it to give you 10 dollars for more information! (The extra 10 dollars is for something I haven’t figured out yet!) :D

no worries: I was only being the exception that proves the rule that Finlanders are quiet and shy…

@NG: Yes, “agreeable” is subjective, and I’m not the arbiter of that!

@Tess: Oh but I do pay attention, and I don’t think this is one of my good posts, and I almost agree with your comment. My only objection is that the way you put it you insult the users that might like these widgets.

indeed. I do truly apologize to anyone who was offended by my comment.
indeed: the code in this post works.

As Cool Quotes above says,”…

Have you ever found a flash widget which would allow a text box to change, either randomly or in a few minutes plus with the user’s input? Not scrolling text, but displaying a message, then another, etc?

Oh, and would it be too much to ask that these text boxes flash widgets would also link to posts.

No, I haven’t been able to find such a widget: probably can’t be done without javascript. But the chief inspector in charge of unearthing strange gems is sanjida, not me, so maybe she can tell us.
