The Gaboinked! Chipin SideBar Widget for WordPress
Until now, there was not a WordPressive solution to easily display a Chipin Widget in a WordPress Sidebar. As a WordPress blogger wishing to display a Chipin Widget in the Sidebar of your blog, you would need to hard-code your template with the widget code supplied by Chipin. The existing Chipin method for adding a Chipin Widget to a WordPress blog depends on the use of <embed></emded> tags within the post itself to display a Chipin Widget.
The Gaboinked! Chipin Sidebar Widget for WordPress blogs is my first WordPress 2.x sidebar widget that allows you to configure and display your Chipin Widget in your WordPress sidebar. It has been tested on WordPress version 2.5 and should work on any WordPress version 2.3 and above.

Hey George, great widget and idea! It definitely came in handy with a few blogs I host. I wonder why Chipin forgot to create something like this. They should take a look at this for their WordPress users.
I was wondering if it will this work for hosted Wordpress blogs?
Hello calisto, thank you for the kind words and I am glad to here it is useful for someone!
As far as it being usable on WordPress.com hosted blogs, I am almost certain that it is not possible. You may need to write an email asking them to include it in the hosted repository and see if you have any luck there.
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
best regards
I am new to this and want to utilize this widget, but i am having trouble finding the id code, could you please be more specific for me. Step by more detailed step.lol I don’t know where to find the url. thanks so much for the help
Hi Lynn,
You simply need to create a Chipin Event and a Chipin Widget within your Chipin Account first.
Once you’ve done that, then you select the code for WordPress, and you’ll discover the required code within the code provided by Chipin.
The options provided by the rest of my widget will be familiar to you after that.
Hope this helps.
George
Hey good luck with it Baron!
I want to use post by post… can I do that?
no as widget, please tell me how…
Thanks
Hey George,
Just downloaded your plugin but I’m not finding this widget id code anywhere… I am on WP 2.8 so perhaps your plugin is obsolete now.
Please advise,
