Note: For a widget to appear on your website, a LibraryAware administrator at your library must first install the widget container that the widget is associated with.  See the How do I add a widget container to my website to display my widgets? page for more information.

2. Click the Folder that contains your widget slide. 
3. If you have already created a widget, you will see it in the gallery.  To create a new widget, click Create Item.
4. To edit your widget before posting it:
1. Click on the widget slide.
2. Select the Edit option.
3. Make your changes to the widget and click Save.

7. To schedule the widget to post at a later date/time, select the In the Future radio button. Enter a date, and select the time that you want the widget to post. The scheduled time will take into account the time zone that your Administrator set in the Basic Settings.
8. Select an Expiration Date and time (e.g., after the event takes place) to remove the widget automatically.  If no date/time is selected, the widget will remain active until you remove it.
9. From the Pick a Widget drop-down, select the widget container to which you would like to add this widget. Only those widget containers that are of the same aspect ratio and size (“Large” or “Small”) as the widget, will be listed in this drop-down.

• Custom – Enter the URL for the website.  The website entered must include the full URL path. For example: http://yourlibrary.com or http://yourlibrary.com/programs/children.  The link will either open in the same window or a new window, depending on the selection made when the widget container was created.
