Making and editing a MyBlogLog widget is very easy, because MyBlogLog generates the code and provides its users with a color palette and a list of the attributes with options. A problem is that the color palette only shows certain colors, making it hard for users to blend the widget with their themes. The solution is to change the attributes in the code since all of them are listed in it. They are separated by ‘& a m p ;’ (without the spaces) and are listed below:

c_width=180 - width of the widget in pixels
c_sn_opt=y - show screen names (’y’ for yes and ‘n’ for no)
c_rows=5 - rows
c_img_size=f - image size (’f’ for full-size and ‘h’ for half-size)
c_heading_text=Recent+Readers - title (use ‘+’ as a space)
c_color_heading_bg=005A94 - background color of the heading
c_color_heading=ffffff - font color of the title and bottom links
c_color_link_bg=E3E3E3 - background color of the avatars and screen names
c_color_link=005A94 - font color of the screen names
c_color_bottom_bg=005A94 - background color of the bottom

To make the widget look nice in the sidebar, I left the attribute ‘c_heading_text’ blank and used the widget title instead.

This is just a basic way of changing the look of a MyBlogLog widget. CSS can be used to extend the look even further.
