How do I install my widget onto various blogging, social networks, or personal pages?
To get your widgets to install to any blogging site, social network (Hyves, Cafemom, etc.), personal site, etc., the site must first support Flash or JavaScript. If this is the case, click the "Get Widget Code" option when placing the widget. Depending on what the site supports, you'll want to copy the appropriate code snippet. The first is JavaScript and the second is Flash. If you need help on where to paste the code, please contact support for the site that you're installing the widget for further instructions.
How do I delete my widget from the site that I installed it to?
To delete a widget from any site that you installed code to, either manually or via one of our installers, just delete the code that you inserted. For example, on Myspace, you'd go to your profile edit page, find the section of the profile where your widget is displayed, and delete all of the code for the widget.
This widget doesn't work. Can you please fix it?
For users (widget subscribers) to view widgets, they must have the same sort of browser. In addition, a widget's developer might have used advanced Javascript techniques, Flash, Java applets, and so on. Widgetbox can't predict compatibility of each widget. If Javascript is not enabled, a page visitor will not see a widget or error message. No space will be taken up.

Why isn't my blidget working right?
9 times out of 10, the issue here is with the feed being used, not the blidget. If something isn't working properly (no feeds, images aren't appearing, links are wrong, etc.) in your blidget, open the feed URL in your browser and make sure that everything is working properly there. If not, you may need to reconfigure your feed.
How do I download this widget?
All of our widgets are web widgets, therefore they have to be installed somewhere via HTML that supports Flash or JavaScript. To install anywhere on the web that supports this, just hit our "Get Widget" button and select the right installer for you. Keep in mind, some widgets are JavaScript only, depending on how they were developed.
However, if you want to use Widgetbox widgets on your desktop, you should check out Amnesty Widgets as a possible solution. Although this product is not related to Widgetbox.
