Interesting Portals 

NetVibes
This portal feels similar to PageFlakes in many ways but I love their gallery. They also have a feature whre certain chrome elements only become visible when you hover over the web part.

Xtra
A New Zealand news portal. I especially liked the content rotator web part at the top of the middle row. Seems like a nice way to allow a user to browse through data.

Dynamically generate your own countdown gadgets

Categories

The other day I wrote about dynamically generating gadgets for personalization purposes:

    http://markitup.com/Posts/Post.aspx?postId=98a4d0e8-cf3c-43d2-b431-e1e1e29958f6

There's been some talk around the place since then about being able to dynamically generate countdown gadgets so I thought that I'd use my little gadget API to "hack" such a feature.  The steps for creating your own countdown gadget are simple:

  1. Go to this URL: http://markitup.com/CountdownGadget.aspx
  2. Fill in the form:


    generator form
  3. Download the gadget from the generated link:

    generated URL
  4. Open the gadget into your own Sidebar:


    generator gadget

Kind regards,
