Product Slides Gadget

The 'Product Slide Gadget' provides a slide show that automatically displays all the products offered for sale on your Etsy store. When a shopper clicks on the image of one of your products, they are instantly linked to the order page for that product. An example is shown below.

Example Slide Show

To see what your store will look like, go to the setup page.

The gadget can be embedded on any web page or added to anyone's iGoogle home page. Just follow these steps:
1. Setup your store's slide show and get the HTML to embed on a web page like your blog or any other page where you can edit the HTML.
and/or
2. Add your slide show to your iGoogle home page.

Setup your store's slide show and get the HTML to embed on a web page
If you have navigated away from the slide show setup page, you can get back to it by clicking here.
When you arrive at the setup page, you will see a form similar to the one shown below. Enter your shop ID in the box labeled, Shop ID, and any Title text you would like in the Title box. To find your shop ID, just go to your Etsy store and look in the address bar of your web browser:

Your shop ID is the number displayed after 'user_id='. For the example shown above, you would enter 5896080 in the form.

The example shown here was setup with nothing entered in the Title box. Click the 'Preview Changes' button and images of your products will begin to appear on the slides. To get the html code used to embed your product slide show in another web page, click on the 'Get the Code' button.

Add your slide show to your iGoogle home page
If you would like to add your slide show to your iGoogle home page, follow the link below:

Add slide show to my iGoogle home page

On that page you will see a form that looks like:

Click the 'Add to Google' button and the gadget will be added to your home page. You will need to do one additional step to customize it for your shop. In the bar along the top of the gadget, click on the small downward pointing triangle in the upper right corner.

You will be presented with a menu like the one shown below:

Click 'Edit settings' and the following form will appear:

Enter your shop ID as described above in the box titled 'Shop ID' and click the 'Save' button. Images of your products will begin to appear in the gadget!

I hope this gadget comes in handy! Please let me know if you have any feedback, ideas, or suggestions.

More Cowbell! Record Production using Google Forms and Charts

First, the what : This article shows how to embed a new Google Form into any web page. To demonstrate ths, a chart and form that allow blog readers to control the recording levels of each instrument in Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is used. HTML code from the Google version of the form included on this page is shown and the parts that need to be modified are highlighted. Next, the why : Google recently released an e-mail form feature that allows users of Google Documents to create an e-mail a form that automatically places each user's input into an associated spreadsheet. As it turns out, with a little bit of work, the forms that are created by Google Docs can be embedded into any web page. Now, The Goods: Click on the instrument you want turned up, click the submit button and then refresh the page. Through the magic of Google Forms as soon as you click on submit and refresh this web page, the data chart will update immediately. Turn up the:

Cool Math Tricks: Deriving the Divergence, (Del or Nabla) into New (Cylindrical) Coordinate Systems

Now available as a Kindle ebook for 99 cents ! Get a spiffy ebook, and fund more physics The following is a pretty lengthy procedure, but converting the divergence, (nabla, del) operator between coordinate systems comes up pretty often. While there are tables for converting between common coordinate systems , there seem to be fewer explanations of the procedure for deriving the conversion, so here goes! What do we actually want? To convert the Cartesian nabla to the nabla for another coordinate system, say… cylindrical coordinates. What we’ll need: 1. The Cartesian Nabla: 2. A set of equations relating the Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates: 3. A set of equations relating the Cartesian basis vectors to the basis vectors of the new coordinate system: How to do it: Use the chain rule for differentiation to convert the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian variables to derivatives with respect to the cylindrical variables. The chain

The Valentine's Day Magnetic Monopole

There's an assymetry to the form of the two Maxwell's equations shown in picture 1. While the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the electric charge density at a given point, the divergence of the magnetic field is equal to zero. This is typically explained in the following way. While we know that electrons, the fundamental electric charge carriers exist, evidence seems to indicate that magnetic monopoles, the particles that would carry magnetic 'charge', either don't exist, or, the energies required to create them are so high that they are exceedingly rare. That doesn't stop us from looking for them though! Keeping with the theme of Fairbank[1] and his academic progeny over the semester break, today's post is about the discovery of a magnetic monopole candidate event by one of the Fairbank's graduate students, Blas Cabrera[2]. Cabrera was utilizing a loop type of magnetic monopole detector. Its operation is in concept very sim
