Whooiz is changing. They have a new logo, they’re dropping the capital H (but it might take a bit of time for this one to go through), and the widgets are now much more dynamic.
So in my blog (if you’re reading this from elsewhere, go to http://msmvps.com/blogs/robfarley), I now have a much smaller ‘whooiz friendz’ section, and I only show one friend. It’s not that I have offended everyone and only have one friend, because if you watch for a few seconds, you’ll see the friend change to a different (random) friend.
This is really nice. It’s something I was tempted to do myself before, but Clarke beat me to it (it’s fair enough, he’s the guy behind Whooiz). I told him I was going to do it, but just didn’t get the time over the holidays to scrape through his script for the bits I wanted to change.
Unfortunately it now lives within an iframe, which gives a little less control over the CSS. My trick of setting the header to not display no longer works, but instead, you can now put ‘&noheader=y’ on the end of the querystring, and that achieves the same (or at least, it will once Clarke has made the change for this).
The code I’m using is:
<div class=”sideNavItems”><h3>Whooiz Friendz</h3>
<iframe id=”Iframe1″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” height=”200px” width=”100%” src=”http://whooiz.com/FriendsList.aspx?Profile=56&type=0&bg=ffffff&hrd=000000&fn=1&noheader=y”></iframe>
</div>
The 100% lets it fit nicely in the div tag, and 200px is what I reckon makes it fit nicely, although it could probably be adjusted down a little more.
Now, presumably this could be thrown really easily into a sidebar gadget…
