When I found myself asking … What is a WordPress Widget? I discovered a cool website called Automattic that had some right-on information on widgets expressly for use in WordPress blogs.

According to the folks at Automattic…

“Widgets” is just a silly buzzword we’ve chosen for this sidebar-chopping plug-in we have developed. They could have been called Gadgets or Gizmos or Wizbangs or Whatevers. On the surface, they’re just things you can use to personalize your WordPress site without knowing HTML. Way down deep, they may be something entirely more significant.

I thought that was one of the coolest descriptions for widgets I've come across. So, I wanted to share their website with you because it also has information and tips on how to use widgets, widget themes, widget plugins, etc. and all for your WordPress blog.

Widgets are fast becoming a vital tool for affiliate marketers, so get yourself educated. Spend a day with a widget, you just might enjoy yourself.

  Imagine being able to post your articles, your datafeeds, and your RSS feeds to all of your blogs no matter what the blog's software platform is. That's the power of Content Farmer!

I've looked around the Internet at a few blogging softwares like Content Farmer, but haven't found one that does datafeeds as part of it's bag of tricks. That's huge!

At slighly more than $200, Content Farmer will serve as a single source dashboard to all of you blogs, making the process of operating several blogs that much easier.

Content Farmer works with WordPress, b2evolution, Blogger, Windows Live Spaces, Nucleus, Live Journal and Post by Email.

I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of Content Farmer as part of your afiliate marketing strategy. It does far more than I've listed for you here, so at the very least get yourself educated about it.
