New Template Widgets: Newsreel and Video Bar
March 30, 2007
Thanks to our friends from the
Ajax Search API team
, we now have two more fun and useful widgets you can add to your new Blogger blog:
Newsreel
and
Video Bar:
The Newsreel searches
Google News
for your chosen keywords and displays an ever-updating list of their search results. The Video Bar does the same for
Google Video
and
YouTube
searches, and even lets you play the videos without leaving your blog! Check out
Pete's mobile blog
for particularly erudite examples of the Newsreel and Video Bar in action.
To use the new widgets, click your blog's Layout link on your
Dashboard
, then click "Add a Page Element." You'll find the new widgets right at the top. As a bonus, the Newsreel will change from a list of summaries to a scrolling ticker depending on whether it's in the sidebar or the main column, so drag 'em around and see what you like.
Not using the Layouts feature of the new Blogger? We have a help article that explains
how to switch your classic template to Layouts
