Do I get a source file when I get a widget?
No. We provide a service. When you get a widget you are essentially gaining access to configure an instance of that widget with your own photos and colors. We then give you a code snippet to paste anywhere you want.

Will you continue to add support for other photo services?
Yes. We are always looking for new photo services to support.

How do I add pictures to my widget?
Click on a widget in your "My Photo Widgets" list. You will then be asked to select a photo service to pull images from. Once you have got your images arranged the way you want them you will want to configure your widget. Click Configure. There you can resize, change color and other options depending on what widget you selected. When you have your widget the way you want it your ready to share it. Click on the share button. You can now embed your widget code into webpage, blog, or social network page. You can also just share your widget by email. Just fill in the field and hit send.

How can I import photos I have previously uploaded to a widget?
Within the "upload your own" section you will see the "Import previous uploads" link. This link will load all previously uploaded images that are compatible with the widget you are currently loading them into. Each widget has a compatible size, when you upload to a widget the image is resampled to an optimal size for that widget. Some widgets have the same optimal size so you will be able to reimport uploaded images to more than one type of widget.

How many times can I configure a widget?
As many times as you like. You can access all of your widgets from your "My Photo Widgets" list found on most pages. Whenever you make a change to your widget, that change will be reflected everywhere you have it embedded.

Can one widget be embedded multiple times, each displaying different configurations?
No. If you want the same widget to display a different set of photos or colors at the same time, you will have to get another instance of that widget.
