Today while looking for information about Dungeons and Dragons 4.0 I found some sad news that I feel is very news worthy. Gary Gygax passed away today. May his inspiration and talent shine through on all of us each day, and may he find solace in his new place of rest.

The XBox 360 Widget that I use on this site was fairly straight forward to build thanks to mads and the team for making such an awesome framework for widgets. This post will run you through how to create such a widget.

It is fairly easy to create a widget as all you need to have is an edit.ascx to handle the edit fields and a widget.ascx to handle the display of the actual widget.

Edit: This article + code is horribly out of date. There is a better version of this widget located on biztron.net

The latest build of BlogEngine now supports multiple scalar extension settings. This is great news as now you can build a much more robust extension without creating a custom administration screen! I love the work that mads and rtur does with BlogEngine.
