Obviously if you have tried to add an "Other Widget" to your profile today you have noticed the option is gone. Wetpaint will not likely be adding it again any time soon do to spammers. I can not tell you when it will be brought back or if it will be brought back, that is for Wetpaint alone to decide.

There is a small variation for Firefox users to Internet Explorer users. Keep in mind this is all done in EasyEdit mode, you won't do any saving till the last step 4.

1. Regardless of which browser you use, open two tabs. In tab 1, open up a normal page that you can create or already have prior access to. Your homepage for example. In tab 2 open your profile. Keep in mind tab 1 can be any site as long as you have appropriate privileges to it (you can edit), while tab 2 has to be on the site you want to add the widget to your profile on .

2. Regardless once again of which browser you use, add your "Other Widget" to the page you have on tab 1. Do not save the page! Head to tab 2 and hit EasyEdit.

3. This is were variation will take place. For Firefox users in your 1st tab simply grab the little image showing your widget in EasyEdit mode, drag it up to your 2nd tab to be taken to your profile. Now simply drag your mouse to an open space on your profile and release the mouse. Internet Explorer users will follow the same method however instead of dragging the widget you will need to highlight the image and hit ctrl - c. After which head to tab 2, click an open space on your profile and finally hit ctrl - v.

4. Now click save on your profile in tab 2, you will notice you will have a fully functional widget. On tab 1 you can choose to either save or cancel depending if you want to keep the widget on that page.
