What are "Other Widgets"?

"Other Widgets" might include things like Flash games or other random widgets that aren't listed on our supported widget list. See the Other Examples sub page for some ideas of things you can use the Other Widget feature for.

How do I add a widget I found on the Web?

Wetpaint supports many Web-based widgets available on other websites. If your favorite widget has an export code, you can use that code to add your widget to a page on your Wetpaint site.
  1. To add your widget to a page, click on the "EasyEdit" button and the toolbar will appear.

  2. Place your cursor where you'd like to display your widget, and click on the "Widget" button in the toolbar.

    The "Add Widget" dialog will appear.

  3. First check to make sure your widget isn't listed in our gallery. If you don't see it, select "Other Widget." The "Add Widget" dialog will appear.
  4. Paste your widget export code into the open text field and then click "Add Widget." If we don't support that widget, we'll let you know then.
  5. After you've added your widget, an "Edit Widget" dialog will appear. You can change the size of your widget by using the (-) or (+) options. You can also change where your widget appears in relationship to the copy on the page by using the layout icons. When you're satisfied with the size and layout of your widget image, click on the "Done" button.

Note: You cannot view a widget while editing a page; at that time, you will see an icon that represents your widget. Your widget will be viewable after you save the page.

Occasionally, we are unable to tell if we can support a particular widget. We'll always give it the benefit of the doubt and add it to the page anyway. You can tell if the widget is supported after you save your changes to the page.

Google Talk chatback badge allows others to chat with you even if they haven't signed up for Google Talk on their Google Account or if they don't have a Google Account. You can put the badge in your blog or website, and people who visit those pages can chat with you. The badge will display your online status (whether you're available to chat or not) and, optionally, your status message. You need to be a Google Talk user to create a badge, and you'll need to be online and available (with a green ball next to your name) in Google Talk to enable people to chat with you. If you're not a current Google Talk user, you'll need to create a new Google Account. If you have Gmail on your Google Account, you can use Google Talk with your Gmail username and password. You can also use the Google Talk Gadget; just go to http://www.google.com/talk/ and click 'Launch Google Talk Gadget.
