Hello Furiends!
I have missed my Blogville Family!
and I'll still be missing you for a little while longer.
Yes, still on break.
Butt, per our Mayor Frankie,
I will be back by March 20th (the first day of Spring) :D
Gotta luv that guy :) Keeps me in line. Well as much as possible ;)
Now to the reason for this post...
the Power Of The Paw Widget
First I must apologize for intruding on your current widget.
As I don't know who all has it, it was the only way I could think of to contact everyone about the change.
Due to some issues with the hosting service for it,
I have gone to a new host and will be removing the old
POTP Widget on Feb 29th.
I've added some bells and whistles to the new POTP Widget
to make it more functional and user furiendly :)
to make it more functional and user furiendly :)
Here's an overview of how it works and how to get the code:
Mouse over the top and a bar will drop down.
It has a logo on the left and the word 'Share' on the right.
Click on the word 'Share' to get the code.
Mouse over the bottom and a bar with the words "Updated 2/20"
will appear. Nothing will happen if you click on it.
It just lets you know when a pet(s) has been added.
When our furiends are all better again or have stabilized,
they will be taken off the POTP Widget.
The "Updated" date will only reflect new pets who need
some healing vibes sent their way.
Mouse over the heart and a flashing button will appear.
Click on it and you will be taken to a section that shows
each pet in need of the Power Of The Paw.
Click on a pet in this section and be taken to their blog.
On the bottom right of this section you will see an envelope symbol.
Click on this symbol and you will see a form that enables
you to add a pet that is not already included.
This message is sent to potpwidget@gmail.com
Once received, that pet will be added and the "Updated" date
will be changed so everyone knows there is a new pet in need.
Note: You will not need new code for your widget to update.
Updates to this POTP Widget will automatically process to
all widgets that have uploaded it onto their site.
On the top right corner of this message form is a home symbol.
Click on it and you will be taken back to the beginning
of the Power Of The Paw Widget.
In a nutshell, everyone who has this widget or visits
a blog that does, can keep up to date on who needs our
healing vibes :)
That's about it.
Any questions, just bark, meow, or tug on my tail ;)
Waggin at ya,
Roo

Hi Roo, wow a widget! That is so cool! We have been in and out of Blogville and hadn't heard about it!
ReplyDeleteLicks,
Booboo
Great to see you, Roo. You have one very sophisticated widget there!
ReplyDeleteCome back soon.

Roo, you look great! We miss you!
ReplyDeleteCoolio widget, Roo!

Roo I just adore your new blog theme. It's so very cool !!!
ReplyDeleteThat widget was a very clever and compassionate idea. So very thoughtful. Doggies and their humans really do need support when things are a bit out of whack. Sometimes their family and friends just do not understand their bond and how it's NOT "just a dog".
Pea's spay went very well. Now she's got an inflamed colon. She's been back to the Dr. again and on meds and a bland diet of cooked chicken and rice. I'm still trying sneak some licks on my elbow too. Mom and Dad are keeping the shirt on me pretty regularly so the opportunities to lick at it aren't very easy to come by.
Thank you for the healing vibes we sure do appreciate it.
Emma
what a cool widget Roo...happee to see you
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
HI Roo! We have missed you too!! In fact our mom was just thinking about you today and wondering where you were. So glad to see that smiling face. :) And a very cool widget!! We'll be looking for you in March! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! We will be putting that on our sidebar right away!
ReplyDeleteThanks Roo!

ReplyDeleteGosh Roo, this sure is cool beans!! Good thing it was pretty easy to put on my (non-existent) bloggy. Otherwise that LB (Lazy Butt) person of mine might never have done it!!

Hey Mr. Roo!! The Publicist felt very intimidated when she read your post about the widget, but then she just FOLLOWED THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS (duh!) and it worked pawfectly. It's on our blog now! Thanks. This is SUCH a great idea!!
ReplyDelete-Bart and Ruby
