Finally, a widget that displays your online presence in ALL of your various social networks!

Okay, that might be a bit of a stretch, but most of the major online social networks that one might belong to are there. A few of the major blogging platforms are noticeably absent, but thankfully my dear sweet Wordpress is represented. Hat tip to Joel Burslem for pointing it out.

Anyway, without further adieu, here’s my new widget (soon to be featured in the sidebar, perhaps?) from “Show Yourself.”

Get Your Own Widget

Perhaps the coolest feature of this is the customizable colours (I checked my CSS to make it match a bit) and the fact that it is a match with the MyBlogLog widget that many of us have already nestled neatly into our sidebars.

Update: The custom colors aren’t displaying properly, so perhaps you should ignore that last line.

Later…Upon closer inspection, it is displaying my “Trebuchet” font, and so it is actually my stylesheet overriding the customization.

Are we going widget crazy? Perhaps. But it is still fun, and that’s good enough for me.
In a side note, this exercise finally persuaded me to sign up to Twitter. Now the whole world will know when I’m working tirelessly in my pj’s with naught but coffee for sustenance.

That is, if I choose to share.

I can’t seem to get both widgets to display, so Twitter will have to wait for now
