LibraryThing widgets

[suncat]

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. 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.

Thanks for your help! I got it working - But only briefly. Now it just says "Nothing found," which is baffling and annoying. But! I think I'm making progress.

Thanks again!

Try this, but take out 'okwari' and replace it with your own?

<div class="ltwidget">
<img src="http://www.librarything.com/gwidget/widget.php?view=okwari&type=random&width=205&top=From my pile of books&bc=fff&ac=ccc&tc=272133&hc=262831&hbold=1&tbold=1"></div>
