Build a classic MyBlogLog widget
In this post I will show you how I created my custom widget showcasing mybloglog readers.
In your function.php file add this simple line of code:
<?php
// MyBlogLog
function MyBlogLogWidget()
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pub.mybloglog.com/comm2.php?mblID=ReplaceWithYourID&c_width=220&c_sn_opt=n&c_rows=6&c_img_size=h&c_heading_text=&c_color_heading_bg=e0e0d4&c_color_heading=E8A02C&c_color_link_bg=e0e0d4&c_color_link=d54e21&c&c_color_bottom_bg=e0e0d4"></script>
<?php }
//register the sidebar 'the widget name', 'the widget function'//
register_sidebar_widget('MyBlogLog Widget', 'MyBlogLogWidget');
?>
That’s it, just replace the “ReplaceWithYourID” with your mybloglog ID. You can also change the width at c_width=220 to what ever you like.
If you look closely at the code you may also see color codes, you may change them to corresponding hex codes, for example: c_color_bottom_bg=e0e0d4 is the color for the bottom background. e0e0d4 is a light gray, we can change it to ffffff and make it white.
That’s it, enjoy!
This is a simple one.
/**
* Your Blog title
*
*/
function my_blog_title() {
$blogname = get_bloginfo('name');
return '<span class="blog-title">' . $blogname . '</span>';
}
add_shortcode('blog-title', 'my_blog_title');
Just add this to your functions.php file and then add [blog-title] in any post or page and it will return your Blog Title. :)
How might you display a Google ad after the first post or anything you like? It is very simple. You just need to add the variable $loopcounter in the Loop. If the $loopcounter is less than or equal to 1, then include your option. Check out the code:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $loopcounter++; ?>
// your loop
<?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { include (STYLESHEETPATH . '/you-file.php'); } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Pretty simple huh. Well in the $loopcounter line, you may change the include to point to any file or maybe a custom widget like so:
<?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { dynamic_sidebar( 'Plus Post' ); } ?>
Or use your code directly in between the { & }.
Here is a simple way to call query_posts with an array of options. For all options you my use visit: WordPress Codex.
<?php $my_query = array('showposts' => 4, 'post__not_in' => $do_not_duplicate); ?>
<?php query_posts($my_query); ?>

Hey Danny,
Make sure this is pasted into your
functions.phpand then you should see a ‘widget’ in your widgets area..Glenn

Austin,
This disadvantage of placing widgets in the functions.php file is (I think) they get clobbered on an update of WordPress.
Again you could use Widgetifyr.com to easily create a stand alone widget.
Thanks
