I say Scott, what's this intriguing widget that has just popped up in the corner of your blog?
Well, I am glad you asked. It is a snazzy little thing we have been working on to promote Like Bees to Honey, the new novel from Caroline Smailes.
Go and have a play around with it. It does all sorts of things.
Once you have answered some questions you get to ask one of your own, claim your own bee and have your own hive.
It has been built by the very clever Stray and designed by the arty Badger. They've done a fine job.
You can read all about the widget, how the hive works and lots of other stuff at Caroline's website.
We'd love you to feature the widget on your own blog. If you'd like to, here is the code:
<object id="bees2honey_widget" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="176" height="280" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"> <param name="align" value="middle" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <param name="src" value="http://www.newloop-clients.co.uk/blog/bees/bees2honey_widget.swf" /> <param name="name" value="bees2honey_widget" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" /> <embed id="bees2honey_widget" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="176" height="280" src="http://www.newloop-clients.co.uk/blog/bees/bees2honey_widget.swf" name="bees2honey_widget" bgcolor="#ffffff" quality="high" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" align="middle"></embed></object>
Which, if you cut and paste it correctly, should look like this:
Have fun.
I got stumped, first question. TOO hard!!
Do you like honey or jam, (yes or no)...uhm...

Oh dear, and you've have thought the need to ask yes/no questions would have been obvious.
I hope they are hunted down and shot.

I've put the widget on my blogs and am now addicted. I blame you!

I am disturbed that anyone would think I could forget David Tennant. My Wordpress theme is not playing along with the widgety goodness, but I will try harder when less jetlagged and champagned.
