Help make our Hearth and Soul Hop Blog Community Stronger!

Hearth and Soul Hop Daily Widget

Announcement 12/5: It has come to my attention that the issues I had with folks coming to my blog and thinking they had a virus were not at all related to the Hearth and Soul Hop Widget but directly to the Real Food Media Blogroll which had indeed been hacked. I have removed that blogroll from my website, and with a few weeks of clean results related to virus issues and a completely clean bill of blog health from my hosting company, I am putting the Hearth and Soul Hop Daily Widget back on my blog. If at any time, you come to visit and have any notices of a virus or malware, please notify me, but no one I know who is running a paper.li widget has had any issues. I would love it if more people ran the Hearth and Soul Hop Daily Widget because it promotes all the wonderful folks who participate in our lovely hearth felt blog community! So, TADA! the Grand RE-opening of the Hearth and Soul Hop Widget!

If you are interested in expanding the foodie love and strengthening our hearth felt blog community that is growing through the Hearth and Soul Hop, consider placing the Hearth and Soul Hop Daily Widget on your blog sidebar!

This widget is a direct link to the Hearth and Soul Hop Daily a Blog Link Newspaper shared on Paper.li that is updated daily using the twitter list @amoderatelife/hearth-and-soul-blog-hop. If you wish to be added to this list and you have linked up to the Hearth and Soul Hop or even the Two for Tuesday Recipe Blog Hop, simply follow me at @moderatelife on twitter and select this list from my list drop down box and click the box to follow, or leave me a direct message and I will add you to the list.

The widget can be customized for both width by adjusting the pixel number (I have mine set to 180),  in the script text below and by changing the html color code (#B0000 is currently a red color, but I changed mine to green and you can find the color that best suits your blog by going to this html color code page, clicking on a color you like and the code will appear in a box below-simply copy that color code and replace the one in the script when adding this widget to your blog sidebar.

The widget will be updated daily and folks can click on those links directly or go right to the Hearth and Soul Daily page to read it there by clicking on the link at the bottom of the widget. This little gadget will also be showing your links on any other blogs who have chosen to place the widget in their side bar, so the possibility for more blog traffic coming to your site increases with the number of foodie bloggers sharing the widget.

Here is the widget code. Please highlight the text and then either use either Control C or right click and copy the text, then go to your blog and either using the ad a gadget page, copy into an HTML form and add it to your blog on blogger, or use the widget text function under appearances in WordPress.

<script src="http://widgets.paper.li/javascripts/init.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
  Paperli.PaperWidget.Show({
    pid: 'amoderatelife/hearth-and-soul-blog-hop',
    width: 200,
    background: '#FB0000'
  });
</script>

Here’s hoping we continue to build a wonderful Hearth and Soul foodie love community and we will be on the look out for more wonderful ways we can share and benefit from this hearth felt blog community! Thanks as always for your support of the hop. Without you and your wonderful recipes and stories, it wouldn’t be what it is today!
