New sidebar widget: WYSIWYG Text Widget

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve released a new WordPress plugin: the WYSIWYG Text Widget. This is a simple but highly-useful widget that allows you to put “fancy” text on your sidebar, including links, colors, images, etc.

I’ve had many requests for this feature over the last year or so, and hope you enjoy it!

Hi,

Just found you through Twitter and followed you here. Very cool blog here and I love the new plugin you have released. I can see some of the people I help with love this one! :-)

Glad you’ll find it useful. :) I already have several clients happily using it, so it was definitely worth the time it took to create.

installed the widget, all seemed to be ok, until I went to add it to the sidebar, it adds and then immediately switches to a blank page as if it the browser is searching for a site but never gets there.
too bad…I was looking forward to using it. I’ve had to deactivate it.
I am using wp 2.5.1

Hi, Tracy—unfortunately, the widget doesn’t work with 2.5+ yet. 2.5 changed the way the editor works, and I haven’t had enough free time to recode the plugin yet.
