So Phases I and II of SBN's roll-out of blog toys is outlined here and if you've been to the frontpage in the last 10 minutes you've probably seen some stuff jumping all over the place. These widgets (computer people make the nerdiest words) are part of Phase III of the master plan to make Pension Plan Puppets the first site you'll visit for all of your Leafs news.

Most of the stuff is self-explanatory but I just wanted to bring your attention to the red stars that are beside teams' names in some places. These indicate that there is an SBN site for those teams. So far 10 teams are covered. If you visit From The Rink you'll see that Mirtle has put some teasers up about the number of sites that have signed up and are in development. There are at least two that will give his mission of filling out the roster some serious momentum. Anyway, explore the new toys and enjoy.

Me Too

Some of the other sports have had them for a while and I was getting jealous.

More awesomeness from the Super IT Crew.

in fact...

i like it so much, might i suggest to your IT folks to place it above the ad space on the right hand side? just beneath the “search posts and comments.”

Yeah

Send them an e-mail :) support@sbnation.com

I’ll do the same but I can’t do it myself because those are locked.

I actually can’t move the fanposts either but I decided to put it above the fanshots to get it as high up the page as possible.

Community Content

Fanposts and fanshots are growing which is a great thing so I’ve kept them at the very top of the right hand sidebar to ensure that no one’s contributions are buried.

Widgets

Just as an aside, widgets were more of an economics term, predating computers by a good while.. Meant to refer to hypothetical products – like Factory X produces 10,000 widgets a month etc etc
