Feevy sidebar widget

First release of Feevy sidebar widget, that would people using free wordpress.com account to get Feevy in their sidebars if wordpress.com people consider interesting to add it in their system.

To test it on your ‘own-managed’ wordpress weblog:

  • Download and install Sidebar Widget plugin. Your Wordpress theme need to be compatible, or you can modify it using these instructions;
  • Download and install Feevy Sidebar Widget;
  • Configure your Feevy widget in Sidebar Widget configuration panel.

You can add up to 9 Feevy in your sidebar (or sidebars). It would be particulary useful for people using tags.

Coming plugin: Feevy Blogroll

This plugin will insert a new panel in Wordpress Blogroll section, allowing you to manage your Feevy directly from your Wordpress admin.

    I am in love with feevy — but it doesn’t look right in my Typepad blog. The type size is larger than the one I see on other sites (including the Feevy blog) and my column is too narrow (my problem). I will work on the column issue — but can you give me any advice for the type size?

    Here is the address (it’s a test site I use for my real blog) http://weblogs.variety.com/the_knife_test_stage_2/

    thank you -

    Hi Dana,

    The best for you is to use the liquid Feevy layout.
    You’ll need to create your own css rules for it - or copy them from examples - and you’ll have total control on the way it’s displayed on your blog.

    To get css rules use on liquid Feeve, read previous posts explaining it:

    Good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask for more help,

    Alex

    wordpress.com users can’t install their own widgets. I think you’re talking about wordpress.org maybe? That’s the software site. Wordpress.com is the hosting site that runs on WordPress Multiuser.

    Please fix your post. I have enough headaches as it is with Technorati and their incorrect information on their website. :)

    Hi drmike,

    Feeevy widget is just a test release at the moment, and not available on wordpress.com
    We’re moving it to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and we’ll soon contact Wordpress team to know if they can include this widget for wordpress.com users.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Nice job!
    1-Does it support unicode?
    2- how about some flexibility in CSS? especially it is urgent for right to left languages.
    Thanks

    Hello Kourosh,

    Thanks for your feedback, here are some answer for your questions:
    1. Unicode support should be available soon with the use of Google Feed API - http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/
    2. We will look for right to left languages, and we’ll release some support for french, esperanto, spanish first.

    Cheers,

    Alex
