The major feature news is a totally revised version of author widgets. Here are the improvements we've made:
• Author widgets now expand vertically to fit the number of events they're showing, so they're never too tall (wasting space) or too short (cutting off important events)
• You can customize the number of events your widget shows
• You can customize the width of author widgets so they fit properly on your webpage
• The unseemly white border and the lines between events are now gone on author widgets
• Your widget's color scheme is now totally customizable; you can choose from classic and modern styles, or change the colors entirely to make the widget blend in even better with your webpage (a much-requested feature)
• You can preview the appearance of your widget right on our new widget-design page, and see how tweaks you make affect the widget's appearance in real time
• Author widget data is now totally synchronized with author RSS feed data, so it doesn't matter which format you use to get your BookTour events on your own website
• Widgets load faster than ever
To take advantage of these new features, just visit the page for the authors whose widget you want and click "Follow this author on my website."
Old widgets will continue to work, but won't have any of these new features. Give the new widget a try today!
