Solved LibraryThing widget issue

My previous issue with the LibraryThing widget not looking the way I planned it was a problem with my template. Changed template and voila--widget obeys me.

Catching Up

Ok, as you can see I accomplished the task of creating a blog, adding photos from flickr, adding an avatar (that was my idea), setting up RSS feeds, and last, but not least, creating a widget from my Library Thing site.

I had fun doing most of this but this Library Thing widget is driving me nuts. I've followed the directions, set up for small covers, no text, style 5, yada, yada, yada, and copied and pasted the code. Every single time it comes out in a vertical line instead of the little rectangle of book covers that was showing in the set up. I even deleted the whole thing and tried again. Now I could just pretend like my widget looks exactly the way I wanted it to and no one would be the wiser but that would be too easy. I'm nothing if not tenacious and I will conquer this demon widget someday. But not today.

LibraryThing

My LibraryThing account is set up with added titles and put a the widget on my blog. I still need refine things a little. I really want my books all in a little rectangle and not in a vertical line.

I had a patron earlier who wanted a list of all the books he had ever checked out. So I showed him Libary Thing and suggested that he use something like this to keep track of his reading.
