Widgets! An addition to the homepage you already love.
Just a quick run through, we won't take to much of your time. And keep in mind that once you've set your widgets up, you will be able to drag and drop them where you want on your homepage.
We'll get started on:
1.Media Widget
Feature any one file. Edit the title, display size and alignment. If you have a two column homepage layout, we'll set the specs for you...
After clicking on the media widget, it brings you to the below page. This page is where you will add files, choose screen position and save.
After saving and choosing "done" at the bottom left of the screen, you should have your media on your home page.
You will always have the option to edit as long as you have content on your home page, so dont feel that you messed up because it gives you the option.
2.Video Carousel Widget
Feature (multiple) clips of your favorite videos. Edit the title for the carousel, as well as their order by using the drag-and-drop function.
After clicking on the video carousel widget button, you should land on the video selectiong page. From here you will add files (videos already existing in your media section). You have the option to change the title of your widget here also but note that this does not change the tittle of your video. To add mutliple files just click add files after each selection, and click save when you are DONE.
After your files have been added, you've clicked save and chosen the done button your widget should look like this.
3.Text Widget
Add some text to your homepage. Edit the title, size and placement. Introduce yourself, list your hobbies, or simply make a statement!
This widget is pretty straight forward. After you select the widget, enter the text. Save, done and your off and running.
4.Flash Embed Widget
Embed a flash file (.swf) and adjust the height and width.
Once you select the flash embed widget you will be able to add any flash file you have uploaded. You can adjust the height and width to your perfered specs.
5.Recent Ftriends Widget
Feature your most recent friends. Choose to display 2, 4 or 6 avatars.
Once this widget is chosen you will have the option change the title. You will also be able to choose how many friends appear.
6.Blog Subscriptions Widget
Share your blog subscription updates with your visitors. Choose to display the titles of 5, 10 or 15 new posts.
7.HTML Code Widget
An easy HTML editor allowing you to embed code from someone's ShareNow account or anywhere else on the net. You can also program your own codes!
Once your done you will have a nice display of your choice.
8.Lifestyles Widget
Share your lifestyle tags with your visitors and connect with like minded people.
9.Notifications Widget
Keep your visitors up to date with the public actions of all your friends. Please note that private notifications are not displayed!
As with the other widgets, you have the option to change the title of your widget. Also the choice to display 5,10 or 15 notifications.
This is how your notifications widget should look once your done.
10.And of course we also wrapped it all up in one destination for you.
Use the view all function to quickly add widets to your home page.
You've probably seen the two buttons (in the picture below) in every screen shot and wondered what they do. The button on the left is the button. The edit button is what you would select if you want to make changes to a widget that you've already set up.
The button on the right (in picture above) is the visibility button. We went ahead and added a jazzy backdrop to your widgets. This button simply gives you the option to remove the backdrop.
Thanks for reading and being part of the ShareNow family and we hope you enjoy your upgrades. And you can't beat free!
