Band name widget at Australian band site entertainya

I was contacted by Aladdin from the  Australian band site entertainya. Aladdin wanted a band name  widget to spice up entertainya.com.au.

My Name is Aladdin, I run and own an Australian online music and entertainment called entertainya. I have been on the hunt for something fresh and exciting to add to my site as i have 1000′s of musicians browsing everyday.
I came across your project and would love for you to consider allowing me to integrate your band name generator onto my site.

I thought the idea sounded exiting and started to develop a band name widget. The band name widget gave the idea to make a free  name generator widget.

Band name generator

The band name generator  widget is a  full copy of the band name generator. Same amount of band name combinations and with a 100%  functionality.

You can see the band widget and how seamless  it integrates with the site.  Entertainya.com.au is based on a  joomla cms.  The band generator code is run locally on the client, so it will work with all blogs, cms as well as ordinary html pages.

Behind the band widget

The band name widget is programmed in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, and Alladin  just needed to add a single line of JavaScript to include on his website.

The widget is compressed to minimize download time, and of course follows the w3.0rg standards for proper HTML and validates as XHTML 1.1.

I continue to give away stuff.  This time it’s a name generator widget.

The name generator widget integrates seamlessly with the web site. The widget contains all the necessary code to run very easily on a web page. Just add a single line of code to your page.

The name generator widget makes code names, that can be used in various ways.  Use the  widget to make code names for bands, projects, blog names etc.

See how the widget works at my sidebar. —–>

How to install the widget

Just insert this line of simple  code, where you want the  name generator to run, and you got a fully functional name generator on your site.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://name-generators.com/widgets/name-generator-widget-beta.js”></script>

The widget takes care of the rest. From name generation to styling.

How to customize the name widget.

Use firebug or other developer tool to see the unique id’s and classes on  all elements.  Just add these to your style sheet with the styles you want. In this way it’s easy to add background images or cool buttons to the widget.

Name widget specs

The widget is programmed in JavaScript. It is minified to minimize the load time for your users.

The name widget  works crossbrowser. It is tested in Firefox, Internet Explorer 7+8, Opera and Chrome.

It follows the XHTML standarad set by the w3.org and validate as XHTML 1.1.

Do you want another name widget?

Do you want a business, superhero or maybe a fantasy name widget on your site, blog or  favorite forum?

Please contact me and let’s see if we can work out something. I’m always interested in some serious text link cooperation. ;)
