Join a "global" jewellery conversation

Postby bert » Wed Jun 03, 2009 2:53 pm

Today I added a new page to the main site: Global art Jewelry / jewellery conversation

What [could] make this page interesting is that it features a gadget which runs a "global" conversation on the topic of "Art Jewelry / jewellery".

What "global" means is that if you choose to embed this gadget on your site(s) it allows that conversation to be displayed on your site AND allows other people to sign in and add or reply to comments which are then instantly displayed in ALL the instances of the "Art Jewelry / jewellery" gadget in all the sites which embed it!

If you would like to embed the gadget on your site or blog and need some help, please ask in this thread.

To get the ball rolling I have added the gadget to some other sites too :ugeek:

    The insider blog: added to a post. I may include a link in the menu at some point, but I added it there so that people who may not have joined the project can coment and ask questions (through the familiar Blogger commenting system) if they wanted. It also helps to illustrate that it is easy to "size the gadget to fit" where you want the conversation to show.

    Soldering-on: My personal jewellery site

    Soldering-on's Blog: Added to the sidebar

    Art & Craft Co-operative: Added as a blog post, so it will "disappear" as other posts are made: but I have linked to it from the A&C's site wall, to give some permanence for people who are interested in jewellery.

    Contemporary jewellery showcase: the "contemporary jewellery showcase" is basically a dead pre-cursor to the HCJ Project; killed off by Google maximum author limit, which was introduced shortly after I set it up :cry: But as it is still there I thought I should add the gadget in a post, again to illustrate how this one gadget can be used across many sites to build a "global conversation" around a single topic. :D

If you have questions please ask! :D

How to embed the gadget in your site

Postby qwallis » Wed Jun 03, 2009 10:37 pm

Adding the global "Art Jewelry / jewellery" conversation gadget to your site is easy!

You can get the code from any instance of the gadget by clicking the "embed this" link in the bottom left of the gadget.

The only problem you may encounter is sizing the gadget to match the space on your site where you want to place it (e.g. either a page or a side-bar space etc)

To size the gadget differently you just change the numbers that define the size! :D
e.g. The example code below would produce a gadget 600px (pixels) wide and 410px high. If you wanted a narrower gadget (say 250 pixels wide) you just need to change the number 600 to 250!

Code: Select all
<iframe frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" style="border:0;margin:0;width:600px;height:410px;" src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/discuss?scope=web&amp;topic=Art%20Jewelry%20%2F%20jewellery" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
If you don't know it's because you haven't asked.
