Mediafly widgets (or are they called gadgets these days?) to Share your favorite shows...

This is not live to the public yet but if you're a mediafly user and you want to share your favorite podcasts, or let's say you want to put the entire mediafly News area on your site, now it's easy. You can actually see the widget on this blog (probably on the left or right side depending on how I'm feeling that week).

We've built the system to be very easy. Here are the steps.

1) Visit www.mediafly.com/mywidgets.aspx

2) Select the content you want to see on the widget (see the first image below). You can select from options such as your personal channels, mediafly areas, or a search query.

Or if you have specific podcasts you want to showcase just enter the mediafly "slugs" in the box. The slug is the last part of the mediafly url, such as:  http://www.mediafly.com/Podcasts/Feeds/Buzz_Out_Loud_from_CNET

3) Click the "Add Widget" button. This will take you to a list of your widgets. Select "view widget" to see your creation. You can change it right there. pressing the "update widget" will cause the displayed widget to change.

4) Copy the HTML code and put it into your blog.

If you have any questions, post them here or email us at www.mediafly.com/contactus

Here are some pretty visuals:
