What You Want To Share: This is where you add the form code or embed code that you would like to show in your widget. You can add your feedburner e-mail subscription code here, or your Amazon widget code here. Make sure to specify the height and width to match Amazon's or to your specifications.
After you fill in all the options, click SAVE at the bottom of the list. You'll be taken to a Success page where you will see code on the right and 3 options on the left. Click the 'Publish Your Widget' option, on the left. Find the link called 'Widget Homepage' in both the lefthand sidebar and on the right hand side.
