LibraryThing widgets

After much hair-pulling and help from another LibraryThing member, I retraced my steps to their instructions for making a widget for LJ-style sites, including Dreamwidth. [personal profile] baggyeyes suggested I mention it here.

This widget works at DW because it doesn't use JavaScript or any such, but relies on data fetched from LibraryThing.

You can see an example on my journal in the sidebar.

This style of widget was described in a blog post at LibraryThing.

You should post this to [site community profile] dw_nifty!

How'd you do it? I would love to add my LibraryThing thinger to my DW, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to.
