I need this source in simple html to include in my free wordpress blog. WP doesn’t support javascripts

The RSS is on its way, Marcos… as I already specified

Great idea, bad implementation.
The widget should be based on rss so that it can be extended and used along with any publishing system/service, but i guess that should be on the way as i write.
Regarding the source, you are using Flickr to serve the images but there is no link back to their site (the photo page actually).
This is just a suggestion, I still think it is a great idea.

Wodress.com — No luck I’m afaris, just paste the widget script into a new page and no luck. Guess it enfringed their coding policy.
You should be able to round this quickly with an RRS feed though for the short term.

By WordPress, do you mean WordPress.com (and similar)? I see no reason why this widget wouldn’t work on traditional WordPress… does anyone have it working on their WP blog?

Thanks, Anil.
Ed, yeah, we’re working on Wordpress, too.
Also, if I ever put advertising on it (not planning on doing so, but you never know), it’ll be on the pop-up bit, and CERTAINLY NOT the wee bit that goes on the user’s sidebar.

Alright, now let’s show Paul the TypePad Widget docs… it’s super easy, and then TypePad folks can add your illustrations with one click.

fantastic piece of kit, thanks hugh et al…but is there a wordpress plugin for those of us not hosting our own blogs (and don’t have access to the html code?!).…

Actually, Paul, Paul Farnell and I first talked about the widget thing back in summer, 2005, but it didn’t go anywhere.
When the subject came up again on the Gillmor Gang it re-lit the fuse.

Might this be a product of the Gilmore Gang? Badass.

any chance in someone developing a dashboard widget? THAT would be awfully cool.
