I modified my Google Reader Pick's box there on the right to be compatible with the new widget framework of BlogEngine.NET, and here's the code if you want to use it in your own blog.

All you have to do is upload the "Google Reader Picks" folder to the widget folder, and configure it for your account.

The most important property is your User Id, which you can get from your Google Reader homepage, clicking on "Shared Items", like this

Then, you can go to the configuration file clicking on the edit link

  • User ID is the user id you have in your Google Reader Homepage.
  • Color Scheme is the color of the list, you can experiment with it, but for the standard blogengine theme I recommend setting it to "none".
  • Items is how many items to show
  • Show item sources adds a link to the original feed
  • Add Xfn Link adds a hidden link with the rel="me" tag for Google's Social Graph API

And the result looks like this

You can download it from the following link, any feedback is appreciated, this is my first widget =)

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something more bizarrely inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
