Instructions:
1. If you are a literalist, click exactly where it says “Click Here!” If you are a generalist, just go ahead and click anywhere inside the frame.
2. Click “Allow” when prompted to tap into the awesome power of your computer’s webcam (you have to have a webcam for the widget to work).
3. Offer a description of your beautiful bedhead. See where it says (type here)? That’s where you type a description of what kind of “hair day” you are having. Alternatively, click on the down arrow to the left side of where it says Hair Day! and there will be provided for you an option you can use to describe your bedhead.
4. Now all you have to do is smile, look into your webcam motion eye, and click “Shoot the Pic”. It counts down — 3, 2, 1… and then snaps your picture.
5. You can then click Save it! or Start over… Once you get the picture you want, save it to your computer and Tweet it, post it to your Facebook page, email it to somebody, or hide it so nobody in the world will ever find it (Not!). Share it!
6. Send in your bedhead pic so we can post it for all the world to see!
Hello, I tried to use your code in a text-html widget, but when I ccelkid save, it automatically transformed to a hyperlink pointing to my .swf file. The same thing happened whith all the variations of the code I found on the Internet. Do you have any idea what is going wrong?Kostas
Hi Laura,
I emailed you the answer on this. For others who might be wondering the same thing, the best way to implement the widget on a blog (it’s also pretty much the same method for a website) is to copy and paste the above code into a post or page. I assume what you were doing was on the dashboard of WordPress going to Appearance –> Widgets and trying to paste the widget code into the text widget and then dragging it over to your sidebar? I haven’t found that to be a workable solution. Try making a new post or page and copying and pasting the widget code within, then publish it that way. Any other questions, feel free to shoot them over.
Thanks for asking!
