The Cedar Central Widget

Hello everyone!

Today I will be releasing the Cedar Central Widget. Until the website opens to the public, this post will be the source for all information regarding the widget, and I will have a link to the right of the blog linking here for easy access. Anyway, on to the widget!

--------------------

The Cedar Central Widget is your newest way to keep up-to-date all the time on the whereabouts of the greatest amusement park on Earth, Cedar Point! Get news and information delivered right to your Dashboard with no hassle, directly from the Cedar Central Blog! With a simple, clean, compact design, and fast and reliable news updates, the Cedar Central widget is the perfect way for Cedar Point fans to stay in the know!


Release Notes:

Name: Cedar Central Widget
Version: 1.0
Size (Compressed): 1204 Kb
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and later.


Downloads:

Download from our server (.zip): Cedar Central Widget
Link to our widget's page on Apple's website will be coming soon.

---Our downloads are safe and secure, and tested for any malware.


Installation Instructions:

#1) After you download the widget as a compressed (zipped) file, it should automatically prompt you with a message asking you whether you would like to install the widget. Click "Install".

#2) Next, you will be taken to your Dashboard, where you should see the widget in a box. Click "Keep", and it should appear normally on your Dashboard.

#3) Drag it around and place it wherever you like. If you are connected to the internet, it will update all of the posts automatically. If the widget is updating, you should see a "Loading..." text field at the bottom.

If you would like to change how long the articles displayed are, click in the information icon that appears in the lower, right corner when your cursor is hovered over the widget to flip it over. Use the slider to adjust the the length of the articles. When you are finished, click the "Done" button to flip it back over.

The first time that you use the widget, you may notice that some images may take a second to appear. This is not a performance issue, and the images will show up after they initially load.

I am very excited that the widget is finally being released, and I am looking forward to seeing what new features we can implement into future releases!

Thanks!
Brad
