You may recall from previous posts on this blog (here and here), that NewsGator has partnered with Gigya so that we can use their Wildfire distribution and tracking platform to increase the number of places online you can simply and easily port NewsGator widgets.  Now that the integration is complete, you can port our widgets to the following sites with just one click: iGoogle, Blogger, Pageflakes, Typepad, Freewebs, Netvibes and Vox; in the future, even more options will become available.

This situation is one in which the new NewsGator Technical Blog comes in very handy.  Our Techincal Support Engineers, Jenny and Dan, have written two posts that you may find useful now that we're integrated with Gigya.  The first -- "Wanna Grab a Gigya Gallery?" -- explains how you can show a Gigya sharing gallery on its own, without having to render a widget. The second post gives you access to lots of useful information that we've provided for you so that you can, among other things, learn how to:

• convert your custom sharing over to Gigya
• configure the default sharing available from Gigya
• customize the look and feel of the "get this" container box
• create a Gigya gallery for your widget

We hope some of you will find these tips helpful.  If there are specific topics you'd like to see either on this blog or the NewsGator Technical Blog, please leave them in the comments section here or on the technical blog so that we can provide you with the best experience possible when using NewsGator widgets -- now enhanced with Gigya sharing.
