A rocking wedding song request widget

So I get more requests for “wedding song” widgets than anything else. A little Googling turned up this most wicked-cool of widgets from Freak Music. Check it out:

Powered by Freak Music – the home of live wedding bands and entertainers for hire.

With a few clicks, add any image you want (that’s the Glö mascot Frankie) and customize the colors. When you’re all set, head over to Glö and add it to any page of your wedding website.

Your guests can add songs and, better yet, VOTE on what they want to see played. genius. get it here and have fun with this!

** IMPORTANT TECH NOTES **

Font colors

If you have white font on your Glösite pages, then this widget will pick up on that font color and display the song titles in a white font against the white background. Result: invisible text! To fix this issue, copy and paste the following code snippet into the HTML or widget box right before the widget code:

<style>#wwrapper-inner #list { color: #0000FF; }#wwrapper-inner .form_box { color: #0276FD; }</style>

You can customize the colors by changing the color hex codes (those are the 0000FF and 0276FD codes you see above.) Here is a color picker tool to help you decipher the hex codes for the colors you want to use.

Header image

If the image at the top of the widget is not displaying, make the following change to the widget code:

The line that reads: var img = ‘http://weddingsongs.freakmusic.co.uk/images/img1.jpg’ (located near the bottom of the code)

should be changed to: var img = ‘images/img1.jpg’ (i.e., cut out this bit: http://weddingsongs.freakmusic.co.uk/)

      You can try pasting the code into the HTML of your page (using the HTML button on the text editor) instead of using the widget box. If you want to send your site URL to me: taryn {at} glosite {dot} com, I can have a quick look

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your blog. It looks like some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Many thanks

    The very crux of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not sit well with me after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but just for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you might do well to help fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being impressed.

    Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Appreciating the commitment you put into your website and in depth information you present. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed information. Excellent read! I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

    Hi Glosite!

    Thanks for sharing this widget, it's great! I know it's been a long time since this thread started, but I would also like to know how to reset the widget to clear existing songs? Thanks.
