What is a widget?

Widgets are web-based tools and gadgets from other web sites that you can embed directly on your page. Like any application on the Web, you should only use those developed by trusted sources.

Wetpaint supports widgets that are either embedded Flash or that are contained within an IFRAME tag. You can choose from a list of widgets we support, or choose "Other Widget" for widgets you don't see in our list.

How do I add a widget to my site?


Widgets are placed on any editable page. To add a widget:
  1. Click on the "EasyEdit" button and the toolbar will appear.

Blue_Leader Placing a "Voki" Onto a Wiki? 19 Friday, 7:03 PM EST by Naru2008
Thread started: Oct 16 2008, 6:04 PM EDT  Watch
Greetings,

I've been trying to embed a Voki avatar into my wiki but I haven't had any luck at all. I've been using the "other widget" option because Voki isn't listed, but every time I try to put it in it says the code is wrong.
I found the link to the Voki website from Wetpaint itself on the "where to find more widgets" page, so I'd assume it is possible to place a Voki avatar into a Wetpaint wiki... But how, exactly? I sure can't figure it out...
