New Widget great for authors

One of the authors on a forum I belong to posted about this nifty gadget and I can certainly see its usefulness. If you add the Smartlinks widget, anyone clicking on a linked book cover image, or just a text link to the book, will get a small, pop-up box featuring the book cover, a blurb and a list of almost every place you can purchase the book, along with other details.

For text links, you will see a small icon, indicating that Smartlinks is active, like this: Mommy Calls by Dr. Tanya. Simply click on the little icon to the right of the link to view all the information about that book.

It's easy to install and can be customized. But, most importantly, it's free!

You can check out how it works on the AdaptiveBlue's website.

The company also offers a brief, video tutorial on how to add the Smartlinks widget to your site and how to customize the widgets, so they work with actual cover images.
