Check out the blidget- the "Get Widget" button is detached and to the right of the widget.
The "Keep a Child Alive" widget did not tansfer to myspace- there was no code for it.
There was no way to grab Beth's sprout widget.
Firstgiving and Network for Good transferred without a hitch.

Causecast widget

Loking at the Causecast widget. But first, before I forget- I noticed they take donations on their site with no outside help. No verisign anything on their form too. Must remember to check in with them and see if that's been cool withtheir donors or if there is concern about security? The Causecast peeps are supercool and I love what they are doign.I hope they win the Webby.

Anyway. The widget.
Waaaaaay down on the home page it says get a badge. And badges are buttons. But there is also a widget. Hooray!

Fast forward 30 minutes:
The widget shows up as a long column of BLANK.
I'll leave it so you can see the column of nothing. But here is the link so I can lok at it with the team and try again if they are into it. http://www.savethechildren.causecast.org/widget?badge

Testing Widgets: Giveback

This blog is where I will be playing around with different widgets and trying stuff out for call2action.
The first widget I added is:

Giveback's Take Action Widget
"You inspire people to make a difference, we'll show them what to do."

The Take Action Widget allows you to turn your web content into a powerful force for positive change. Just add this widget to your website or blog and instantly viewers will see opportunities they have to take action on the issues you care most about."

When grabbing the widget from their site you are given the option to put in key words for the widget to scan your page for. First I didn't put any in, and the widget just had random cause s in tehre- one in spanish and one about saving the animals.

Now I have put in one for water and am going to paste the blog post from the C2A blog re charity: water in this posting and see if it affects the widget.

"As the benefactor of this year’s Twestival, charity: water received over $250,000 from events held in over 125 cities. Just two months later, founder Scott Harrison and his team have already started digging wells in Northern Ethiopia. And they are letting the people who partied and gave know all about it. This is something donors love, that many organizations do relatively little of- the post-party follow up!

Progress on the project was parceled out in four simple videos. Although they are named Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4, the content is so much more than a feelgood journal."

Now I will copy and paste some content here that matches the terms I put in when I
