Some widget love using the MyBlogLog API

OK, so this might just be the pretty much the most rad thing I have ever seen. Using the MyBlogLog API, check out what MBL member KeyJ63 created!

At first glance it looks like our normal run of the mill Recent Reader widget. You got your recent visitors, a link to join the community and all that jazz. But oh? What is this community tab up top? Clicking on that will pop up an entire screen of awesome.

So in the center there you got your blog community, surrounded by the community’s most recent readers. And from each of those readers, you can see the blog communities they are a member of, and follow the paths and you can find the blogs that your readers have in common.

But the hotness doesn’t stop there. Not only can you drag around the readers and blogs around the screen, go ahead and try double clicking on any of the icons. As if by magic the whole thing mixes up and arranges everything to focus on the selected reader or blog. And if that is not enough, select a reader and up springs a site bio, or select blog and a little window appears and shows you the Alexa page rank and traffic stats. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely super impressed!

Kudos! You totally rock!

Hello Everyone! I am super excited that you liked my widget enough to post about it on your blog. I really enjoy all that MBL has to offer and thought it would be fun to play around with the API. After I saw all the data that was made available I knew I had to make something cool with it. Then the idea for the widget came about. I hope everyone enjoys it and I am always open for feedback on how I can improve it as well.

I have the MBL widget on my Active Rain profile at: http://www.ActiveRain.com/terieee; however, I tried to replace it with your widget – including the link love, but wasn’t allowed because it exceed 100 words. How do I find out what MBL ID is to replace? Thanks, it’s a very, very cool idea.

@Teri Ellis
Terri, to get the MBL Id you will need to look at your MBL widget code that is on your blog and find the text “mblID=” without the quotes. Directly following that text will be a long sequence of numbers that long number is your MBL Id. The end of the number will probably be followed by &
I hope that helps.

Is watching the video free. I’d prefer you make it available for download bcos, video streaming is not very okay in this part of the world.
