I wanted to add two new widgets to FJ for everyone to check out if they want. One is the Defense Industry Daily and the other one is Small Wars Journal(which Nagl is one of the contributing authors of). If the readership would like to see any other widgets, I am open for suggestions.
And by the way, the way these widgets work, is that they are miniature RSS(Really Simple Syndication) readers. Every time that website or blog updates and adds new information, my widgets read that and post it.
So like I have mentioned before, keep an eye on them, because new jobs or news or important industry stuff comes in all the time.
You can also grab these widgets for yourself and put them up on your Myspace, Facebook, websites or whatever, and check them out on your own site. They are great for adding content to your site.
Also, I have a Feral Jundi widget available for anyone if they are interested. And at this time, about 12 readers have set up this widget on their websites. If you would like further instructions about these things, let me know and I will hook you up. –Head Jundi
Would like to know more about the widget – what it is, what it does for us, etc.
