Submitting widgets should be painless and relatively straightforward. Below are the steps you should follow to add your widget to bpwidgets.com.

1. If you don’t have an account, create one.
2. Login, and select the “Add Widget” button.
3. On the Add Widget form, we’ll ask for the widget name (this should be the name listed with Bluepulse), the widget keyword (as listed with Bluepulse), and the widget description (up to 1000 characters).
4. You can also upload widget icons, which are used in result tables and detail pages. The large icon should be 44×44 pixels, and the small should be 15×15 pixels. These might sound familiar as the same dimensions as the icons you already submitted to Bluepulse. You don’t need to submit icons, but I’d recommend it, and I’d recommend you submit the proper size icons to avoid any scaling issues.
5. You can optionally enter your full name, company name, and URL. If you provide them, they will be applied to every widget you submit, and will be displayed on your widgets’ detail pages.

After submitting your widget, you’ll be given the opportunity to classify it:

1. You can select a Bluepulse category. This should be the category where your widget can be found via the bluepulse client or bluepulse.com.
2. You can select a BP-Widgets category. This is where your widget will appear in our taxonomy. You don’t need to select a category, but I’d recommend it, as it will make your widget easier to find.
3. Finally, you can add tags that describe your widget.

Some gotchas to keep in mind:

• Developers must submit their own widgets. When you submit a widget, it is “owned” by you at bpwidgets.com. Please do not submit any widgets for which you don’t have intellectual property rights.
• Your name, company, and URL are applied to all widgets that you submit.
• Your e-mail address will not be made available to bpwidgets.com users. If you would like to make it available, enter it in your widget’s description field.
• Widgets are not immediately released in the wild. They are first added to an approval queue where they are reviewed. Right now, it’s just me doing the reviewing, but I doubt that they’ll sit there for more than a day before I get a chance to look at them.
