Thanks for the response.
Glad to hear the halt/backlog is not going to be permanent, because I
do like Blogger. It has a very easy and user friendly interface for
users setting up sites.
The API is also great for developers; the Blogger/Google XML version
of my widget was easier to create than the Wordpress equivalent, it
provides a lot of features, and many gadgets developed can also be
used in igoogle, or embeded in other sites.
Thanks for the offer of publishing gadgets of people who are in touch
with you:
Mine is http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/100257443189777594535/widgetc-4-blogger.xml
(live examples on http://anythingtravel.blogspot.com). It has been
tweeted by the UK Foreign Office, and Directgov Innovate have said
they will "showcase" it. I obviously think its good gadget; however,
I realise Blogger will have it's own requirements so I can take
rejection without bursting into tears! That said I'm keen for my
widget to be popular, so please let me know if you have any suggested
changes.
Thanks
Andy
