    great dude! i’ll use this plugin soon~

  4. What a cool tool for widgets!! I will be recommending this to several bloggers I know as well, since some of them having scripts which hang up on me in explorer and firefox. It gets realy annoying because I enjoy reading their posts.

  5. Fahmishah, Great! I hope it helps…

    NZ Map, Thanks – I know what you mean… It can really detract from reading a blog which suffers from this. In the past, there was one blog that was so bad, I resorted to only reading it via a feed reader and never commenting!

    hi. i think the iframe a bomb for all site. the google don’t like iframe codes.so your’s sites can be sandbox.

    • Anadolu,

      Not true. IFrames are bad for SEO, so I wouldn’t put your content in an IFrame, but it shouldn’t be a problem with external widgets. That’s not your content, that you want people to search on, and it’s probably a good thing if the search engines can’t see it.

      But using IFrames will NOT result in your site being sandboxed…

      • Hi Stephen

        Cool idea! You are totally right – usually your content is not shown in widgets, and even if, you don’t need to use the iFrame Widget with that widget code.
        One thing that would be really cool: If I could just drag and drop a “normal” widget into the iframe widget then there would be no need to fiddle with code…

  8. I’m gonna try this out on 2.6 and hopefully this will work

  9. I second you Stephen. contents in IFrames aren’t usually indexed by the search engines, however they don’t affect the rest of your page’s content getting indexed or ranked. IFrame cloaking on the other hand, is quite another story, as it’s a n intention to show readers one thing, and the search engines another. And in that case, when caught, you might get in the sandbox or banned altogether. =P

    This realy is a clever idea. It is so simple in theory but so powerful. This is a must for my list of plugins. Thanks.

    Sounds good, will definitely give it a try.

  12. I have a question, will this work with the newer versions of WordPress? I do not want to use it yet until I know, as I messed up one of my WordPress blogs before due to some plugins.

  13. Great plugin idea. You should make it so people can set a time limit on java script to load so it will stop loading them after so long. Maybe let people set the time so if any java scripts have problems on some days the site just does not load them after so long.
