A Podiobooks Widget for your Blog
This morning I discovered Widgetbox, a place where you can create a sidebar widget or snippet for any given website. A lot of people have asked us for a way to embed our blog in their own site, and this seemed to be the perfect solution. I’ve created a PB widget, and you can get it here:

(Note to authors: This would be a fabulous way for you to promote your work…)

Chris, that is very cool. Was it easy to setup?

Not at all! They have a wizard to do it. Very simple.

Hi Chris,
I’m a bit off topic but this seemed like the best place to comment on how quickly you responded to my post about Podiobooks.
I’m amazed by how fast you were, and by the strength of my reaction. It transformed what had been a fairly banal experience (subscribing to a podcast on iTunes) into a surprisingly pleasant feeling. A connection, a deeper one than with most behind-the-counter humans, even tho, in the end, it was just a one-liner comment.
Now this is all said with little experience of the actual product and none whatsoever of the community around it, this blog, and you as a person, Chris, but I must say, as a follow-up to the free-as-free-beer sign in the window that got me thru the door, it really clinched the deal for me.
Well done, I’ll be sticking around for a while to see how comfortable the bar stools are, and to hear more of your bartender patter.

Mathieu,
We clean the seats every night and put fresh crushed peanut shells on the floor. The staff can be chatty at times, but so can the clientele so it all works out.
Hope you enjoy your stay and find the need to bring a few more folks along for the ride.
E.
