Lijit says that you can set up your Lijit account directly from the Blogger Gadget if you are not registered and that it will look this way:

But i found that with a failed attempt at least in the 3 browsers and at the two resolutions i also checked, i got this instead:

But you still do can set it up directly. By entering your Blog name as username so Google takes care of doing the account for you.

Now you need to set what E-mail and Password you want for your Lijit account and click the “Register Now” button. Once you do it will start loading your gadget:

Then you will have to wait another 1 minute for it to show this:

Now refresh your blog again and it will be there in its default look:

When a user does a search with the lijit search gadget, it will show up in a Lightbox unless you customize it to be implemented differently:

I like the lijit search gadget, i think it a good addition if you want your blog not only have extensive search, but make it more social and networked. Even then, it is not always recommended to do this depending on your habits, blog subject, etc. So it is up to you to decide that.

You think Widgets are all the rage now?, you have no idea... vista will bring widgets to the masses next year, widget engines in browsers will be the commonplace starting next year and even Blogger is now using it as part of it´s layout engine.

So, as with RSS and Podcasting, Widgets will be the third thing most common next year.

That and more,make the sprout of a widget only directory like something natural and even obvious in a "that didn´t take long" sense.

Widgetbox takes the directory angle and push it into a web 2.0 edge where it has a community drive in the form of rating, classification and tools to makes things almost Foolproof for anyone to add a widget to their blog, or to add a widget to the directory.

Widgetbox

The directory is young, the idea is good, the execution is ok, so let´s hope it evolves nicely and everyone can take advantage of it as most as possible.

You All Know that i love almost anything Feed related, and this new service is something i was waiting for.

LinkRSS is a RSS Creator, and not only that, is a easy as hell Feed Creator.

You only register, and it will let you create Link feeds, this is pretty much like a Link Saver with the straight difference that this will create a feed from that Linklist, it will let you add your description for it,and determine the order of the links in the feed.

The feeds produced by LinkRSS are not only Static feeds, but are Archive Feeds (up to this moment) wich means you can put as many items as you want into your feeds.

At the moment the service don´t has a blog or even about information of the service so lets hope they get into that soon.

If you are still wondering why this is buzzed here, lets start with the most obvious things you can do with LinkRSS that you can use in and for your Blog: LinkRolls and Blogrolls that as you know have their own feed....
