What does that mean to you, the blog site owner? It means unlimited display and publishing power and flexibility. It means that you can quickly install any type of web site feature at little or NO cost! It means that there are hundreds of thousands of programmers working just for you, for free!
Whats a Widget?
A widget is a small application written to be ‘added on’ to your blog’s sidebar, or main screen. It can be as simple as a little text box that you can put a paragraph or two in, or as complex as a full ecommerce system complete with product management and merchant account configuration. Programmers develop these widgets in ‘open source’ environments following standards that allow them to be brought onto WordPress, Blogger, Facebook and other such social media tools. Because they are developed on an open-source platform, widgets sometimes need extra tweaking to work properly or to do the job exactly how you would like it done. At OnCouRSS, we take care of that for you. We have programmers on staff with all the tools necessary to modify existing widgets and to write new ones if necessary. So, no more stressing over finding the right tool to do the job - let us take care of it so that you don’t have to.
Installing Widgets
It takes NO programming to install a widget, but it does require you to have access to your web site’s files. Your web developer can install widgets for you in minutes. OnCouRSS provides a growing number of tested, functioning, useful widgets in a library for ALL of our clients so the installation step is taken care of. All you need to do is activate the plug in/widget and you can use it in your blogspot/web page. No searching, no worries, and, as WordPress releases new versions of the publishing platform (which they do often), we make sure that the plugins keep working for you.
