Wordpress.com blog get Twitter widget

Apparently, Wordpress  has added Twitter widget on Wordpress.com blog. You can have it as well by going to your widget section.

Unlike a lot of Twitter plugins for Wordpress self-hosted blog, which sometime require authentication to allow you to tweet from the Wordpress Dashboard as well as other features, Twitter Widget can merely showing the recent tweets on the sidebar.

You can show Twiter updates for more than one Twitter account, as what it need is only the Twitter ID. That means you can display others people tweet too!

So, this is how the widget looks like.

How to insert PHP code in the Wordpress widget

I finally found the solution that I’ve long wanted - to be able to insert PHP code into the widget. This is achieved by using Php-Code-Widget plugin. This plugin will create a new type of widget, called ‘Php code‘

To use it, add the widget, and paste your php code into it enclosed in <?php and ?> tags.  So no more hard coded php code in the theme now. Credit to the plugin’s author

Bravia Internet Widget TV - bring internet to your TV

If there is something that I probably wish to see on my TV set screen is, to be able to view  emails, YM  or Facebook in a form of widget while enjoying the shows. Apparently Sony Bravia 2009 Z-Series can do that. 

Although it sound ridicioulus when you’re watching TV to get some relax or enjoying the show,  but the the idea of doing this is like killing 2 birds with a stone, where you stay updated and at the same time being entertained. 

It is maybe not for ‘heavy browsing and graphic’ application an such as Facebook, Myspace or Gmail,  but how about tweeting from your TV??

Some other widget that I can thinking of that suite with this widget concept, is like the favourite sports results, breaking news, shares, weather, currency changes and etc.  Basically it is something that you can view it on the fly.

So what’s next? Real time blogging on breaking news being played on TV?

Widgeting RSS

I have some free time playing around with widget today, which bring me to WidgetBox.One the largest widget sites on the net, I guess.

With its tool, creating widget was simple. There are different type of widget you can choose from such as for Flash, HTML or even Google Gadget.

I’m looking something that can display my RSS feed nicely, and there you go my first attempt (and my only one).

As I say earlier this is only for fun, and I’m not gonna put it here (maybe somewhere else). Widget is definitely No-No if you put a performance ahead of fancy looking blog, but in case you think otherwise, grab it here.
