If you look on the top-right of the side bar on this blog’s home page<\/a>, you may be able to see a sign-up box for the Lib Dem Supporters network. It’s more or less the same one that we’re using on Ming’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That sign-up box is the world’s first Lib Dem<\/a> WordPress<\/a> Widget<\/a>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

If you already have widgets installed as part of your WordPress installation, you can try this widget out yourself. All you need to do to use it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the ldsupporters.php.txt<\/a> file and save it or upload it into your widget plug-ins directory under the name ‘ldsupporters.php’<\/li>\n
  2. Go into the ‘Plugins’ area of your WordPress installation and activate the ‘Lib Dem supporters box’ widget.<\/li>\n
  3. Go into the ‘Sidebar Widgets’ section of the ‘Presentation’ area of WordPress, and drag your new ‘e-supporters’ widget to the desired location.<\/li>\n
  4. Hit ‘Save Changes’<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    er… that’s it. <\/p>\n

    If you don’t have widgets installed, head off to Automaticc’s Widgets project page<\/a> and follow their extremely helpful instructions on how to install widgets and add them to your blog template.<\/p>\n

    Good luck. All suggestions for new widgets or improvements to this one (which is currently rather primitive) are much appreciated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
