messageWhat are widget parameters?
Online widgets often support runtime parameters, as specified by their developers. For instance, users can choose different colors, or RSS feeds, or locations etc. The parameters can have unconstrained or predefined values. Before retrieving the HTML code for installing an online widget, you can customize the values of the widget's parameters.

messageRe: What are widget parameters?
Thank you for your interest in Widgipedia!

Regarding your question, it's very simple to add parameters to Web Widgets at Widgipedia. Here's a step by step walkthrough:

1. First of all, you have to upload your widget to Widgipedia by clicking the "Upload Widgets Now!" button on the left side and filling the fields in the subsequent dialog box.

2. After you have successfully uploaded your widget, you'll see four light gray buttons below the description of your widget: "Get Widget", "Details", "Edit", "Parameters". Click the "Parameters" button. This will open a dialog box where you can specify the parameters for your widget.

3. By default, there are just two parameters (width and height). You can add others by clicking the "Add Parameter" button, which will open a dialog box that asks for:

* parameter's name (as will be expected by the widget code);
* display name (as shown to your users who configure their widget prior to installing it);
* description;
* parameter style (e.g. whether the parameter is represented by a dropdown, a text input, a checkbox, a textarea, a color picker or it's hidden);
* parameter types (how should the parameter be sent to the widget);

4. As you configure the parameters, the widget preview will automatically update to reflect the changes.

5. After adding the parameters you want, click the "Save" button and you're done.

You can find more information about how to set up parameters for your widget in the online documentation:
