Correction, you love my “Weekly Top Dropper” widget because you are as addicted as I am to card dropping. Making one is very simple in WordPress.  OK, it’s not really a widget because it doesn’t auto-update, but it’s cool anyway. Here’s how to do it:

1. Log into entrecard.com, visit your dashboard, and click on “More Stats”. 
2. Click on your browser toolbar and view source.  A text editor should pop up.  Find the part of the code that contains the table information.  Copy everything between <table class=”stats”> and </table> including those two tags, and paste it into a clean text editor window. 
3. Now, where you see something in the html code like <a href=”/details/4320″ mce_href=”/details/4320″>Computer Tech News</a>, change it to read <a href=”http://entrecard.com/details/4320″ mce_href=”http://entrecard.com/details/4320″>Computer Tech News</a>.  It’s really a simple paste operation you repeat 10 times.
4. Go into your wordpress admin under Presentation/widgets and create a new text widget if no empty ones are available.  Paste your code into the widget, give it a title, and save it.  It will look like my widget, minus the background color.  BTW, adding the background color broke the table in firefox, but I found a workaround.
5. To add color, you have to surround all that code you pasted before with paragraph tags and div tags.  Also, add a line of text at the top if Firefox insists on drawing the table outside the widget.  Why does a line of text fix it?  I don’t know.  In my case it looks like the following. <div style=”background-color: #eeeedd;
   border: 1px dotted #333; padding: 5px; margin: 0px auto”;><P style=”text-align: left; background-color: #eeeedd”> ……code….</p></div>  and thats it.  Use any Hex color code you like.
6. Repeat weekly until entrecard makes one for download.  I already made a suggestion to entrecard to provide such a widget to us.  Trying to make one myself resulted in a log-in error with entrecard. 

Happy New Years Everyone!
