To
keep you up-to-date
on the latest Calls
for Entry, the Center
is providing you with
this “Widget”.
This small box, using
RSS feed technology,
can be easily placed
on your own blog, website,
or MySpace or FaceBook
page (social networking
sites) to assist you
in spreading the word
about our Call for Entries.
We are very excited
about this technology,
and think it will be
a strong means of getting
the word out, and increasing
the Center's search
engine ranking and internet
prevalence. The box,
regardless of where
it is on the internet,
will always contain
the latest information
regarding the Center’s
Calls for Entry. The
best part of this technology
is that when a website
visitor views the widget
on any blog or website,
they can then quickly
“grab it”
and place it on their
blog or website, allowing
the information to proliferate
quickly throughout the
internet. Below the
"Widget" boxes
are some detailed instructions
of how to implement
the Widget on your own
website or blog.
