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.

On my Computer, there's no 'Other Widget' Option when I go to add a widget; I can see 'other' widgets, I just can't add them...

jimmiller5417 Failure to display next step 2 May 20 2010, 4:03 PM EDT by Baby_Apple

I have previously used "video" successfully to embed Youtube video clips. I followed the instructions on "Wigets" and hightlighted the video clip on Youtube I wanted. Hit return since no button appeared. I could not scroll to the bottom of the frame in which the desired video clip displayed, so if there was a button at the bottom, it is lost since it I could not display it. I could not move the panel up or down, only sideways. -- weird.

Please restore the ability to use "video" to embed video clips like we could do earlier. The change to "wigets" was not a change for the better.
