Verified Checkmarks on the Flyout

Thanks for all your great feedback on the new Recent Readers widget. The adoption has been fast and thick with many of you jumping right in and trying it out.

Yes, seven colors is restricting. We'll see about getting instructions on how to customize this for your own site with skins that you can share with others. Soon.

Olivier asked if it's possible to have a "landscape" view of the widget so you could have a row of your recent readers across your site's header or footer. On the configuration screen, just select Multiple Columns and one (1) Row and the width you need and despite the preview not showing you, the code will work just fine.

Lastly, we took Mark Hopkins' suggestion over on Mashable and added the MyBlogLog checkmark of truthiness to the site listings on the flyout. See the check next to Olivier's LiFE-LiNE site? That shows that he's verified the site using the MyBlogLog verfication process.

As always, let us know if you see anything not working right. We'll continue to tweak this widget while working on the New with Me feature we've got cooking.

Ok, Thank you! I could see that people had been there but no one was showing up on the widget. But I do see one showing now. Thanks!
