Here's the code for it.

<object data="http://www.pokerroad.com/widget" type="text/html" width="300" height="450"></object>

This is very cool, you guys. I have it on my blog if anyone wants to take a look, it gets updated all by itself! How's it do that?!

listening's Razz blog...

My complaint about the widget is this: I don't put ads on my blog for stuff people have to pay for. So, I want to support Poker Road: radio, blogs, forums, videos, all that content. And I love having links to these things show up on my blog. But I'm not supporting your advertisers and if links to ads for training sites are going to keep appearing, I won't use it.

If someone who visits my blog wants to come here and then they see an ad they want to click, that's all good. I've never monetized my blog and never will, except for putting a link to my rakeback site because they have always been excellent to me. I even took that off.

Please make it PR content only because I really do think its a good thing.

^^^ What are you talking about? I don't see any ads on there at all.

PRR Presents: Take a Tour of Tournament Poker Edge!

Last one is a link to an ad video for a coaching site. I wanted an ad, one that linked folks right here to PR. Now, is Tournament Poker Edge owned by PR? If it is, then welcome. If not, then someone is just advertising for free on my blog and I don't know them.

That's just a coincidence because the most recent video released under the title PokerRoad Radio was about Tourn Poker Edge. The next time they put up a new video, it'll change to that.

I don't think that's something that can be helped, it's one of the last 3 videos uploaded to PokerRoad. Once a new video comes up then that one will be knocked out as it seems the widget displays only the last three videos.

I see. That's too bad. Thanks for checking it out.

JonV's assessment of the widget's current operation is correct. It just grabs the latest articles from PR and puts them on display.

I completely understand your position. I wouldn't want us displaying our ads on your blog, either. As far as I know, that is the first and only ad video PR has posted. I can't promise that there won't be any more in the future, since neither content nor advertising is my department. Fortunately, the overall functionality of the site is, and there are various methods that can and will be employed to filter out ad content.

I'll try it again. I wish you'd put it in the thread so everyone can see it. Or, can you? You must, they put videos in these threads.
