Gydgets go wide!

Longtime users will know that we released gydget.com with the ability to quickly and easily build fan widgets in October 2007. These narrow gydgets (pronounced ‘gid-jets’) were great for the left-hand column in MySpace at 250 pixels wide x 385 tall.

Today we’re pleased to announce a new wide gydget (425 pixels wide x 350 tall) packed full of gydgety goodness and perfect for MySpace’s main column.

The wide and narrow gydgets are linked, so any content you add can be reflected in both. It’s up to you to decide which version you’d like to use (one or even both) and you can set the default size on the ‘Style’ tab once you login to gydget.com

To ‘upgrade’ from the narrow gydget to to the wide, just create bigger ad buttons on the ‘Buttons’ tab and upload a bigger image on the ‘Style’ tab. We’ve also added ‘TopFriends’ at the bottom of the wide gydget – a change for your fans to meet each other and show the love. The differences are shown here and there’s more information on our FAQ page here.

To mark the launch of the wide gydget, we’ve updated this blog – stay tuned for more tips, news and information. And as always, contact us at info@gydget.com if you’d like to know more.
