Widgets are a great way to create more exposure, and place your jobs from your job-a-matic account on other sites! Each click on a widget is the same as a click on a job on your board, which means more revenue!
Where Do I Use Widgets?
Most of our Job-a-matic sites are linked to other third-party sites: a blog, personal website, company website, service website, etc.
There are great places to put a widget! A great example is The Web Strategist. This is a popular blog that has our job widget in the right hand rail.
Using CSS, the web designers have fully customized the widget to fall in line with the look of the website. If you don't know CSS, don't worry. Many of our partner websites use our widgets without any custom web design at all.
Widgets are completely adjustable. Here are some examples, from our stock widgets to some that have been tweaked completely.
Custom Widget
We provide easy ways to tweak the colors, number of jobs, width, and even offer to post jobs by the visitors IP location!
This requires no web design knowledge, just cut and paste into your page's HTML.
Our Standard Blue Widget
For simplicity, we've also included some basic color choices
This requires no web design knowledge, just cut and paste into your page's HTML.
Standard Search Bar
(No Jobs)
Want something simple? This provides just a search bar and no jobs.
This requires no web design knowledge, just cut and paste into your page's HTML.
Fully Customized Widget via CSS
All our widgets are written in javascript and accept formatting/styling edits via CSS coding. This means a good web designer can make our widgets look like anything! This site has used CSS with one of our widgets to match the job widget to the website.
This requires some web design knowledge, using CSS.

How Do I Create a Widget?
Login to your Job-a-matic account
Click on Promote Tab-> Widget Gallery
Click on whichever widget you'd like to use. You can try them all.
How to Configure Your Widget
The easiest way to configure a widget is with our Customizable Widget (the first option)
Here you can change the number of jobs shown, any default keywords, colors, and location (including a "location by IP" setting!)
The best part is that you can "preview" all the changes you make on the right. The example widget will change based on the setting you change!
Once you're happy with the widget, copy the HTML and paste it into your website HTML code.
If you are using a blogging software program, you'll have to find out how you can add javascript to your site.
As always, you can send us questions at support@jobamatic.com.

Have some of the widgets been removed? For instance, the Something Blue and the other "Recent Job" Widgets are not in the promote section anymore.

Yes, some of them have been removed. You can get the same look by coloring the customizable widget.
