Display Qnews on your blog or social network page
The nifty little widget that you see to the right is free, and you can use it on your own blog or social network site. You can even customize it with appropriate border color for your site and adjust its size to fit perfectly in any space you have.
If you're satisfied with this size, then click the "Options" button to get the code that you can copy to your site.
If you'd like to change colors or size, click "Get this widget" at the bottom of the display. You'll be taken to the SpringWidgets site where you can specify any changes you might want to make and then generate the code to copy onto your site.
And even if you don't have your own blog, you could put it on your Windows desktop to get a quickly updated view of the day's gay news. Click the Options button and choose the first icon on the top left. (You'll have to download and install a small bit of code from SpringWidgets for it to work on your desktop.)
You can see a narrow example of the widget in a different color that displays only the headlines on any of our blog index pages (at the bottom of the right-side column). Just click "Get this widget" and you'll be able to customize it with the appropriate width and color for your site.
See another version of the wider example with both headlines and summaries on our MySpace page. [no music played] (Typical of MySpace, however, the "Get this widget" link doesn't work because it takes users away from NewsCorp/Fox sites to the actual web. Get the wide code here or click the Options button there.)
And yes, you could change the feed to something else, but we hope you'll give Qnews a try.

Thanks to 'N Touch News Network, a very nice website for an LGBT magazine in Arizona, for picking up the widget. Looks great! By the way, we don't really know where the widget might be, but happened to notice that because a few clicks came our way from there. (And we can tell which site clicks come from most of the time.)
