Just a quick note to let you, the Slatecard community, know that we've revised your Slatecard widget which you can embed on your website to drive traffic back to your Slatecard. (For instructions on how to embed the widget on your MySpace page, please see this post.)

Here's a snapshot of the updated widget:

The only major change to note was aesthetic. We removed the Slatecard logo and slogan with "Make a Difference; Support my Slatecard." 

Let us know if you hear any feedback via Team AT Slatecard.com. 

If you're a Mac-enthusiast, you've likely picked up your copy of its new operating system, Leopard. I did.

One of the most practical new utilities with Leopard is the ability to create your own dashboard widgets so that you don't have to visit a particular website to search for new content. 

I've done so with the Slatecard Ticker which you can see here:

So how do you get your own Ticker widget? It's easy: 

1. If you have Leopard, simply open Slatecard.com in your Safari browser (must use Safari).
   
2. Go to File > Open in Dashboard
3. Highlight the Ticker. Mouse click.
4. Voila! You're done.

Now you can keep a voyeuristic eye on the Ticker without even navigating to the site. The updates will appear magically.
