spwidgets is a new site offering free sports stats widgets for your website or blog to help spruce things up. The nice thing is how easy it is to use!
They are currently offering MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL widgets with multiple options for each league. When you click on a sport's logo, you immediately get 2 drop-down menus.
1st Menu: This menu allows you to pick from 4 options: standings, schedule, scores, and odds. From there, the second drop-down will change depending on the option you just picked.
2nd Menu: This menu allows you to break certain categories down by specific conference or even division. This is nice if you have a Green Bay Packers blog and you only want to show the NFC North division standings on your website.
Once you've chosen your 2-3 options, you are taken to a page that allows you to really customize your widget. In the customize page, you can change the font, width, and colors of your widget which is a very nice touch. I think we all struggle with some widgets that don't match up to our color scheme. Well these guys realized that frustration, and took care of it.
Here is an example of a quick widget we threw together:
And remember, these are FREE! So run over to spwidgets and add some spice to your site.
