   Good work! Maybe you can have a Yahoo/Konfabulator Widget for this…as most ppl. in the developing nations are yet to be familiar with Windows Live! and its Widgets.
   Another option would be to provide an Opera Widget for it or even a Google personalized page addon !:)

   Cool. Does this only work with Windows live? I’ll be interested to see how I can use this.

   I wonder what will become of this. So many people have so many bright ideas.

   At least we can all see that wordpress.com is hard at work, offering new features, all the time.

   Thanks guys!

   That’s pretty cool. I suppose this could work for easier mobile blogging too.

   Just one question… what does the “17h 52m remain” thing mean on the stats page?
7. calupict Jul 13th at 6:18 am

   This one seems cool.

   Hey how about a Yahoo! Widget?
8. bluefrog Jul 13th at 6:36 am

   What about a Mac Dashboard Widget? That’ll be cool
9. Babbler Jul 13th at 6:45 am

   A firefox extension would be cool.
10. Andy Jul 13th at 7:10 am

    Stephen: That’s the amount of time remaining in the stats day. Stats are latched to UTC. Those numbers help you see how you’re doing compared to the day before.

    A Yahoo! Widget would be GREAT!! How how hard would that be to do?
12. puny Jul 13th at 7:15 am

    Maybe a Google widget too…
    :]
13. Brent Jul 13th at 7:16 am

    Hey how about a Google Gadget? 8)
14. Matt Jul 13th at 7:17 am

    A Yahoo! Widget would be GREAT!! How hard would that be to make?
15. basu715 Jul 13th at 7:36 am

    Dont forget to make one for netvibes please.
16. elgrande Jul 13th at 8:05 am

    Don’t you guys use Netvibes, I would prefer a netvibes module!!!
17. Yong Hwee Jul 13th at 8:18 am

    How about a widget for OSX?
18. drhaisook Jul 13th at 11:59 am

    Wow! This is gonna work well in smartphones and handhelds, isn’t it? If so, it would be really awesome! 🙂
19. Nobodyknows Jul 13th at 12:28 pm

    If anything, I’d suggest adding a tab for latest comments so we can access that aspect a little more easily as well. But the Gadget™ is prett damn cool; I can see finaly using mac’s dashboard (should a such a widget ever show up).
20. Dario Salvelli Jul 13th at 1:16 pm

    Infact,it’s interesting a Google Gadget also: this will be great when i use gmail on my pda and the gadget of my blog.
21. Kunal Jul 13th at 1:24 pm

    this is great feature.. clean and white.. writing a new post is really easy, but what are the 1.2.3.4 in the top posts.. i thought them to be links, but unable to click them…
22. Stephen Jul 13th at 1:30 pm

    To make the Windows Live Gadget easier to add for users you can use a link in this format:

    http://www.live.com/?add=http://wordpress.com/livegadget.xml

    And whilst you are at it you should add the Gadget to the Windows Live Gadgets libray at

23. gapp Jul 13th at 1:52 pm

    Thanx a lot guys.
24. wank Jul 13th at 1:54 pm

    What’s a supervillian? Is it like a supervillain, or is it just an inhabitant of Superville?
25. engtech Jul 13th at 2:14 pm

    The top posts feature is pretty neat, any chance we could get that as a sidebar widget for our main blog? (maybe with top 4 posts today, top 4 posts yesterday… along with number of hits?)
26. Moey Jul 13th at 2:41 pm

    thay’s great.. but doesnt wanna work with me
27. thehype Jul 13th at 2:44 pm

    Huh, easy and simple.. But sorry if it seems like a dumb question, since I’ve only been blogging for a short time, but what/where is the [Add Stuff]? I don’t see it on the Gadget page..
28. Ken Jul 13th at 2:46 pm

    Lovely. Can I request you release it as a plugin and make it Netvibes compatible? 🙂

    Oh, and if you guys are running Linux, you’re that much closer to being supervillans.
29. sunburntkamel Jul 13th at 3:03 pm

    very nice. not that i use live.com. but if i did, you know.

    thanks, andy!
30. talkislam Jul 13th at 3:05 pm

    awesome
31. nikoxy Jul 13th at 3:51 pm

    Great stuff!
    Wish there be a Mac Widget too.
    Thanks, Andy!
32. webmacster87 Jul 13th at 3:57 pm

    How about a Mac OS X Dashboard widget?
33. blayde Jul 13th at 4:40 pm

    This is great, a quick way of posting and adding bookmarks. Really neat.
34. .:Mariana y Manuel:. Jul 13th at 5:59 pm

    I don’t undestand what is this. Can someone explain it to me in spanish????Thank you!
35. torpy Jul 13th at 6:06 pm

    Keeping my fingers crossed for Netvibes compatibility as well!
36. umair Jul 13th at 7:27 pm

    this is gonna work well
37. erik Jul 13th at 8:01 pm

    nice. thanks for your continued work.

    wilma is not an intimidating supervillan name, especially for a blog empire mascot.
38. Andy Jul 13th at 8:07 pm

    7. drhaisook: I sure hope so! There’s very little javascript involved.

    8. Nobodyknows: Fantastic idea! I’ll see what I can do.

    10. Kunal: 1-2-3-4 are HTML acronym tags. Hover them to see the post title. This probably needs work, as I’m not sure how mobile devices will handle that.

    12. wank: I knew I could count on you. 🙂

    17. erik: Wilma held a special place in Dr. Evil’s heart. 😉
39. Ujwala Jul 13th at 8:40 pm

    how can a mac user use this? I’m very excited about being able to post to any of my blogs from one page and to see the summary of all of them on one page too! fantastic! thank you. now you have to tell me how I can use this on my google page or even directly in wordpress.com 😀

43. ياسر Jul 14th at 3:12 pm

    Cool beans.
44. Brent Jul 16th at 4:30 am

    It’d be nice if this could be made into a GDesklet.

52. undefinedgeek Jul 19th at 10:48 pm

    Woot! Totally Awesome. Works great.

    To those of you having problems getting the widget to work on live.com, in FireFiox, go to Tools->Options->Privacy->Cookies, then make sure cookies are enabled and the option “For the originating website only” is disabled.

    this has been asked a couple of times, but just to annoy everyone how about a google.com/ig gadget?
    which of these services will actually dominate the future of internet surfing? will microsoft make a comeback? or will google grow and outsource microsoft??
54. Joby Elliott Jul 21st at 1:33 am

    Those of you asking for a firefox plugin that uses WordPress, look no further than:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1730/

    I did actually hit a hangup trying to use it, because it’s not particularly clear on how to configure it for WordPress, but I’m working on a simplified version of another tutorial on the subject.

    If you don’t want to wait, read the tutorial I found at:

    http://performancing.com/node/580
55. shorty114 Jul 21st at 4:03 am

    I don’t know about everyone else, but who the heck uses Windows Live??

    A OS X Dashboard widget or Yahoo!/Konfabulator widget would be much more useful, IMO.
56. Andy Jul 21st at 6:15 am

    Joby: I have Performancing for Firefox installed and I like it very much but I usually forget to use it. I prefer tasks to be side-by-side, not stacked vertically. Still, it’s nice to know I can press F8 to blog. With Ruff’s Firefox extension I can also blog with Alt-W.
57. Ruff Jul 21st at 4:42 pm

    Plus my firefox extension will be hosted on addons.mozilla.org soon! DOSAWESOME!

61. davortech Jul 25th at 8:02 am
