New: Google Reader Shared Items Widget

Try to say that five times fast.

Anyway I’ve been pretty obsessed with Google Reader for awhile. It’s the best thing to do when you’re at work and need a break. You can just click on Google Reader and be informed on everything that is happening in the world at the moment in one easy place. Or just what is happening on the blogs of your friends. Or in the world of celeb blogs. Whatever.

So I discovered this widget Google created which shares your shared items with people who may not use Google Reader or aren’t included on your shared list. As you can I’ve added it to the sidebar. Down there… yeah, scroll down. There it is!

I had some trouble deciding on a color scheme though. I would prefer black but their black option offered orange text which just gave it this weird halloween themed look. I also liked gray (or grey if you’re fancy) but the light gray text was on a white background and I think might produce some problems, depending on your screen contrast, resolution, etc. So I went with something else, which I can’t remember now. 

Here are the options I was considering, none of which really fit the current color scheme of the site. Any thoughts?

I stupidly upgraded the site and having done so just de-updated the site’s look. It’s like backwards evolution around here. Now I have to take time out of my busy schedule of going to shows to put things back the way they were. *sigh*
