    the issue with the qmeme widget is that if you are using ie7, and click a link, the yellow popup bar appears and you never make it to the destination - might be costing you visitors.

    Duncan, I am glad that you were able to show off how easy it is to create a blog widget using our builder. We hope to make it as easy as possible to create multimedia content. Keep on building!

    Nice video Duncan.
    Just a few features you missed that would have helped in this making this widget.
    1) Instead of drawing a rectangle, you can change the background color on the bottom toolbar. (You can also pick colors from anywhere in the builder (eyedropper) if you are trying to create a nice color scheme)
    2) When you rotated the box slightly, you can always "undo" that change.
    3) Lastly, when you preview your widget, you can change the background of the preview page by clicking on the area outside the widget.
    Hope this helps in your future widget creation!
