Widget Pi have been baking gadgets and gizmos since 1869, back when the Intel processor was powered by donkeys and viral marketing was little more than a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

At the moment, we are in the process of putting together a new identity for ourselves, so although we have a cool company name and our logo is ready to rock with a tag-line so funky it’ll make your skin crawl, we are not quite there yet, and a wee bit more time to get our affairs in order…

In the meantime, we strongly recommend you feed yourself on our RSS updates, as this will ensure that you don’t miss anything too tasty!

With the recent launch of the WP Mega Feedjit Widget and our Framed Maintenance Wordpress Plug-In, our chefs certainly have their hats full.

In addition to this, we have also already (even though we have not yet officially launched - meaning we have yet to upload the new website) managed to put together several interesting corner banner badge ribbons:

• The Merdeka KORNr
• The Halal KORNr
• The Mulligan’s KORNr
• Mascot Design KORNr

We are presently working with Widget Box to bring integrated remote galleries live, in order to power such classics as the Online AJAX Gallery.

Have fun, and thanks again for visiting!

For a more technical and less automated approach to AJAX, you should probably ensure you are already subscribed to the news prescribed by AJAXian.

For a very insightful list of the very best digital design resources available, you should definitely go and check-out the ever-growing NI-Limits Links page. ]]> http://blog.widgetpi.com/useful-ajax-resources/feed/ http://blog.widgetpi.com/useful-ajax-resources/ http://rss.klews.net/~r/widgetpi/~3/150424998/ http://blog.widgetpi.com/stand-to-win-us50-for-using-this-kornr/#comments Fri, 31 Aug 2007 07:08:21 +0000 Genuine Administrator http://blog.widgetpi.com/stand-to-win-us50-for-using-this-kornr/ With KORNr just weeks away from launch and our friends at NI-Limits in need of a new mascot, you really should check this out!

NI-Limits send a lot of business our way, but this was a free bake we did for them in help of their need for a new mascot, and offering US$250 as a grand prize for the winning artist!

This corner banner ribbon badge (or whatever the hell we are going to end-up calling these things that rest in the corner and follow you around as you scroll up and down the page) is a little different to most, for this one may end-up earning you US$50 if the winner of the competition found out about the competition from seeing your corner!

To use this on your own site, simply copy and paste the following line of code into the first line of your BODY tags, and in some cases, it may even work just by placing it in your header. Please note that this script utilises a LightWindow pop-up, which may get funky (and not the groovy kind) if you happen to already be using loads of AJAX in your site, but fear not - it is degradable (kind of)…

Built for Mulligan’s JB in an attempt to start a whole new international MUG society, this is suitable for any Mulligan (or Mulligan-Lovers) out there!

This new corner banner ribbon was specifically designed for Elite Chef, but due to its generic nature, is suitable for any web based Halal businesses.

To use this on your own site, simply copy and paste the following line of code into the first line of your BODY tags, and in some cases, it may even work just by placing it in your header. Please note that this script utilises a LightWindow pop-up, which may get funky (and not the groovy kind) if you happen to already be using loads of AJAX in your site, but fear not - it is degradable (kind of)…

#container {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
width:560px;
height:380px;
margin-left: -280px; /* MUST UPDATE TO MATCH HALF THE WIDTH */
margin-top: -190px;  /* MUST UPDATE TO MATCH HALF THE HEIGHT */
}

Please note that if you change the width and height of the DIV, you must also change the margin left and top so that they exactly match half the size of the height and width. This can be avoided using percentages, but Internet Explorer does not accept percentages in height values, so to be truly cross-browser compatible, you need to do things manually for now, that is; until our up-coming DIVx widget has finished being baked!

We are proud to release our first plug-in for Wordpress, where we admit that in a rather uninspiring moment of reason decided to call it Framed Maintenance.

This plug-in adds an iFrame-Powered Splash Page informing users (other than logged-in administrators) that the site is undergoing renovation.

Administrators can enter their own URL (pointing to another page or site containing any information they like) from within the Wordpress Dashboard.

So, whilst you are upgrading your sites, you can set it so that visitors can either see one of your other sites, or you could create a new page specifically for such occasions and have that displayed whenever the site is being upgraded. Worse comes to worse and you could set it for Google so that they can at least move on to their next location much easier.

If you are still running an old (pre 2.2) version of Wordpress, you will need to use this plug-in instead:

In celebration of this officially unofficial launch of Widget Pi, and in partnership with KORNr, we are proud to present this corner banner / ribbon from KLews.net

Partnered with WidgetBox, we have released the AJAX Online Gallery:

Perhaps it’s just one of those days, and the clever buggers behind this beast made a genuine mistake, you know it does happen, for we are human after all…

Please forgive us!

We will be back in touch as soon as human possibly, or at least, as soon as these damn PCs make it possible!
