If you are a Shelfari user and if you blog at wordpress.com, you are gonna love this post!
Note: Although search results for Shelfari in wordpress.com forums keep on telling us that adding a Shelfari widget in a wodpress.com blog is practically impossible because of code restrictions (unless you upload a lame screenshot), it is very possible to add an attractive and interactive Shelfari widget in a wordpress.com blog!
This post assumes that you already know how to use Shelfari.
See some variations of my Shelfari widget below:
Widget style: Grid of books
Option: small
Widget style: Grid of books
Option: Large
Widget style: Vertical Layout
Option: Small
Widget style: Horizontal Layout

Choosing the appropriate Shelfari widget type for wordpress.com
Of all the available options, choose Flash.
Embedding Shelfari’s Flash widget in a wordpress.com blog
After you have created your Shelfari widget, copy the Shelfari widget code they give you.
Paste the code where you want the Shelfari widget.
The code you have pasted won’t work in wordpress.com blogs right away. You need to modify the code so that the Flash embed works for wordpress.com.
To learn how to modify your Shelfari’s Flash widget, please read this post:

Bonus tip:
Smaller Shelfari widgets look great in the side bar area and footer, while the larger ones are appropriate in posts and pages.

Hi there, this post really helped me a lot, thanks. I managed to get the shelfari bookshelf in my blog just by reading a lot of blogposts and guessing (not knowing any html or flash). But the scroll buttons don’t work? Which part of the code did I leave out?
Thanks for the answer in advance.
This always happens to me. I ask for advice and suddenly things work. *g* Cheers

NAME: Work Injury Compensation
Human societies are always smart enough to tap onto whatever profitable pathways they see,
and the same ideology has led to the opening of many Compensation Law Firms.
The local newspapers are generally filled with reports about cases being contested by
representatives from various compensation law firms so much so that any tourist scanning
over the city newspaper supplements is bound to be a bit
surprised by the prominent face of these law firms.
Thank you so much! Admin…
