A neat new gadget.

Well this is kind of neat.  I found a chat gadget for my blog that will send any messages you type into it directly to my instant messenger account.

So if anybody wants to talk to me, just use that gadget over there in the sidebar and i'll get it as an im on my computer or if i'm not at home, it should go through to my phone and i can reply from there.  Seems kind of neat, so feel free to say hi sometime.

To add this to your blog go over to http://www.plugoo.com/ and sign up.  It's free and doesn't take very long.  It works with several different im networks so you can pick which one you want.

Log in, click on my widgets and copy the HTML at the bottom:

Then pop over to your blog and go to the Design tab and click Add a Gadget

Scroll down until you get to this one:

Name it, paste in the code you copied earlier, and hit save.

You should now have your very own chat gadget that will send messages to an im service.  I can't imagine this will be good for everybody since some people might not want to be bothered, but I think it's kind of neat since I'm always signed onto instant messenger anyway.


Feel free to test it out if you want.

I think this post came out pretty good considering 10 minutes ago I was so stuck for a topic that I almost posted instructions for making ricin tipped bullets out of hollow points...Much less likely to get in trouble talking about blog gadgets. :)
