This is an exciting time for the MindBites Associate program and its participants. We are unveiling new features left and right and today we are pumped to unleash the MindBites Widget Configurator. Yes, we realize ‘configurator’ is not considered an actual word in some circles, but it sums up what this puppy does very nicely so we’re running with it.

Here is how it works. The Widget Configurator lets you configure a custom widget (imagine that), which allows you to display up to 12 lessons on your site in an attractive and easy-to-navigate display. You can choose to display lessons from a certain category (Algebra, Dance, Business, etc.), from a specific author, or you can specify exactly which lessons and series you want shown in your widget. You can also adjust the size and color scheme of the widget to make it fit nicely on your site.

Once you get all of the configurating out of your system, simply copy the embed code that is provided and paste it into your site. It is that easy.  The MindBites Widget Configurator can be found on you ‘Associate Tab’ (which you can access by signing in to MindBites and selecting the ‘My MindBites’ tab on the homepage) under the ‘Create Widget’ option in the menu on the left.

Once you start to use this fancy new feature please let us know what you think. Is it easy to use? Are there other features that would be helpful? Post any thoughts, questions or brilliant ideas for us in this thread below. All of your feedback is welcome (and needed) as we attempt to make our Associates Program top-notch.

Thanks, now get to configurating!
