Well.. Here was my strategy before I placed any widgets on my blog. I had to think about who would be my readers and would they even be interested in my widgets. So first I embedded the common ones Twitter and the subscription option.
But from my Twitter, I learned of two interesting websites and embedded their widgets.
This site provides visitors electronic Thank You Cards, created by children, which you can personalize and they would randomly send the cards to individual U.S. Troopers.

Widget 2: “FlyLadyTools” which is powered by BlogTalkRadio.

Thanks for sharing these sites. I think it is great that you got some advice from twitter, followed it up and then added the widgets to your sidebar. Class blogs especially look great with widgets and students really love variety, interactivity and media. The blogtalkradio especially looks interesting. Have you listened to any of their broadcasts? I like your twitter widget as well. Have you had that on your sidebar before the teacher blog challenge?
ReplyDeleteHello murcha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. And yes to both your questions.
I did have the animated singing bird as my twitter widget before the challenge.
And I love listening to the blogtalkradio episodes by FlyLadyTools.
I discussed her episodes in my Dec.22nd post:
