I had a play around with Wordpress at the weekend and more specifically how to create a Wordpress widget. As with most things when I learn something new I find it much easier to tackle the learning curve with a real task that will have an end result, rather than just read set of instructions.

So I searched around and found a very simple article on widget creation here:

The next thing was to think of a real world project to use so I decided to generate a Widget that displays the latest ShoZu uploads using the ShoZu provided feed for a user.

I have set up my own Wordpress site here where I have now installed the widget and also set up a page with some install instructions and a download of the code.

Next step is to do the same thing for a Drupal Block.
