The PBS oil leak widget has been upgraded to Flash.

How ironic is that?

1. How can anyone keep calling that rocket exhaust a “spill?” Or a “leak” even?
2. Funny to think of Flash as an upgrade in this climate, but hey, it’s going to be around for a while.

It’s actually a good thing for PBS to offer. Not knocking their motivation. 

The question isn’t “Is $30 a year a lot of money to prevent ads on widgets you make.” It’s not much money.

The question is “Do I want to make people who embed the widget see the ads.” No, I don’t think so.

Pro account explained. Do I have this right?

Does it look a little crazed? It’s meant to.

Get it at Clearspring.

Just fooling around with the Netflix feeds. Get the widget at Clearspring.

But I recommend the Clearspring version below over the Widgetbox version above because the Flash embed code allows script access, which makes the links on my pictures work, and lets the widget be more than a slideshow.
