We have developed a widget will allow bloggers to post a feed of ResearchBlogging.org posts on their blogs. You can see it in action on any of the blogs at ScienceBlogs, as well as on the ScienceBlogs channel pages.
What’s really cool about the widget is that it is completely customizable. The look of the widget itself is controlled by CSS, and the topics that the widget delivers is also customizable by page. As an example, compare what’s on widget on the Physical Science channel to the Medicine and Health channel. Completely different content, based on how the ResearchBlogging.org member blogger tagged her or his posts.
The widget is not yet available for all bloggers to use, but because the widget is already placed on the high-traffic blogs of ScienceBlogs.com, if you post to ResearchBlogging.org, the widget should help direct more readers your way.
We’re testing the widget on ScienceBlogs.com for now, and soon we’ll be able to roll it out on individual blogs for additional testing, and ultimately anyone who wants to use it will be able to.
There’s more in the pipeline, so stay tuned to this blog and ResearchBlogging.org for exciting new developments!
