DaWanda-Widget
What is the DaWanda-Widget?
The Dawanda-Widget is a great tool that enables you to show off your great DaWanda products on your own blog or website. It enables you to present your own shop or your favourite pinboards to your friends and fans (you can see an example in our own blog here).
The DaWanda-Widget is based on javascript which makes it less error-prone and more versatile, enabling you to enjoy a variety of settings.
to the topWhere do I find the DaWanda-Widget?
You use the DaWanda-Widget in different ways, depending on whether you wish to use it to show your DaWanda shop or pinboards.
If you would like it to show your DaWanda shop then go to My DaWanda >> Advertising Tools >> DaWanda Widget.
If you would like it to show a pinboard then go directly to the pinboard (which you can find beside the DaWanda shopping cart). To the left of your pinboard is a banner, which you can click on to create a DaWanda widget for one of your pinboards. Here you can decide what settings you would like for your widget.

You should note the following things before using the Dawanda-Widget:
* You can only advertise ‘public’ pinboards using the DaWanda-Widget.
* Once you have selected the frame patten you cannot choose any other colours, as these are set by the frame pattern.

Can I setup the DaWanda-Widget in wordpress.com?
Unfortuntely you cannot use the DaWanda-widget with your Wordpress account because javascript is not compatible with wordpress. It works, but if you have the wordpress blog software installed on your server then that is what your Blog runs from, rather than the javascript.
If you would like your wordpress blog friends and readers to find out about your DaWanda shop you could instead insert one of the great DaWanda banners on your site.

Yes, you can!
