Hey, people seem to want to know how to use a bookshelf widget...


I'm serious. They do. And so everyone I will put a shelfari bookshelf widget onto my blog (bottom of page) and show you now, step by step, how I did it.

Step one, go to your Shelfari homepage. There is a button on the side that says 'widgets'

Magnified Once

Magnified twice


Magnified Thrice


















Now, one you click 'widgets' you will be directed to this page: 
Don't worry if yours doesn't have all that writing, they're just other widgets I've made for other things.

Click on 'Create New Widget' 
Then you'll get this page:


Then select your website platform: Blogger (me!) Typepad or Wordpress. Then you'll go here:

Follow the prompts on this page until you hit continue. Then you'll be onto 'style your widget' 
After this is done you'll be onto 'Save and Publish'

The page will look like this:
Copy this text code:                                    


Then once you've copied it (just computer copy okay? Don't write it all down) Leave the page.

Go to your blog edit page thingo, (this one is bookstomovieshype.blogspot.com ) and click on design.


 Select one of the 'Add Gadget' Templates, don't worry if its not in the place you want it to be, you can drag it around later, or even before you click 'Add Gadget' (if you want). Anyway this pop-up should pop-up. (How original are internet terms?)
The one you are looking for should come under 'Basics' its the HTML/JavaScript thing.

 When you click on it, this pop-up will appear:
Paste what you copied into the 'content' section, title the shelf however you like.

Hit save, you should return to the design page. Save all design changes you have made to your blog and view it. 


So anyway, check out the blog:  bookstomovies.blogspot.com 
its good.
