Install Widget

Click ‘Get Widget’. The widget is put on a panel (more on this later) and you install the panel on your blog or web page. If you have a TypePad blog, you install it visually using the TypePad widget placer. Other blogs are currently installed to by pasting a HTML snippet into the blog, though we are working to improve upon that.
