The I List Widget!

January 31st, 2008 by: Chris Punke

Announcing the official I List Widget!

The I List, a list of Iowa Bloggers, was originally started by my friends Drew McLellan and Mike Sansone and has really taken off! I have seen it on maybe a dozen sites.

However, I decided there were so many lists out there, some with errors and some with different links, that there should be one “official” list. That way if there are changes to the list, they’re automatically updated everywhere! Sound cool? I thought so too.

So, I made an I List page where you can request edits/additions/deletions to the list and, most importantly, I made a widget for you to include in your own site. That way you can be sure it will always be up-to-date with the full selection of Iowa Bloggers.

Try it out: (and feel free to embed it on your own blog!)

P.S. I moved the widget out of this post just to keep things tidy on my site. You can still find the widget over there on the right side of the page in my side bar —–>

P.S.S. I had a request to decrease the vertical height a bit (which I agreed was a good idea). So you may notice in the next few days that the height gets shrunk a bit. No need to do anything different on your end, change will auto-update.
