Subject: Announcing the BT Forums Widget!

What is it?

A mini-application that uses the Yahoo! Widget Engine to display the 10 latest postings from the BeginnerTriathlete.com forum of your choice. Below is a picture of it running on my desktop (along with an Ironman Race Countdown widget and a Stewie Griffin widget).

To run it do the following:

  • Go to the Yahoo! Widget site
  • Install it according to their instructions (it's really simple)
  • Download the BT Forums widget by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post
  • put the BT Forums.widget file into the My Widgets folder
  • Double click on the file called BT Forums.widget
  • Enjoy!


- Clicking on a thread title will open up that thread in your browser window.
- To change forums, right click, select Widget Preferences and choose a forum.

BT Widget

If you have any questions or comments, post them here.

It updates once every minute, unless you change the forum then it updates immediately.

Great...just what I need. A new and improved way for BT to distract me from work.

It is cool, though. Didn't think there was a Widget program for Windows.

Unfortunately, the only Mac I own at the moment is a Powerbook 140 and I don't think Tiger's going to run on it.

If someone wants to donate a G4 or G5 I'd be happy to create one. Heck, I'll even settle for a Mini.

The Yahoo widget engine does have a Mac version and the widgets are supposed to be cross platform compatible but I haven't had the opportunity to test it.
