Creating a great looking gydget

If you have seen some of the great looking gydgets we have posted on the homepage you know that there are some tips-n-tricks for making them look great. The Last Goodnight, David Banner and Stroke9 have created flash movies that fill the entire gydget.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for doing it on your own:

1. Create a .swf that is 425 W x 215 H (px) at 30 frames/second.
2. Upload the .swf as the wide image under the ’settings’ tab on gydget.com.
3. Go to the ‘tabs’ tab on gydget.com.
4. Click ‘add content tab’.
5. Call the tab ‘home’ and use this link as the image: http://attendio.cachefly.net/content/clear.png
6. At the top of the ‘tabs’ tab, select ‘home’ in the drop down next to ’show this tab when gydget loads.’
7. Go to bottom of page and click save.
