Showoff Rankings – Not Just for WordPress!

I’ve been getting quite a few e-mails from people wondering how they can use my Jon’s Showoff Rankings plug-in on their non-Wordpress site. I told them they could modify the source code themselves but of course, that was met with much disappointment.
As a result, I’m happy to announce the release of a new service that provides a Showoff Rankings widget for everyone! Simply go to ShowoffRankings.com and generate your own widget to use anywhere! No plug-in installation required, just a couple lines of code! Check out the demo in the sidebar, doesn’t it look sexy?
The widget is now available in 3 different styles and now includes Compete Snapshot ranking! The PageRank detection algorithm doesn’t work on a lot of servers and is in fact against Google’s Terms of Service. For now, you need to specify your own PageRank (PageRank checker available here).
WordPress users can continue using the plug-in but it will no longer be updated. This centralized solutions means you no longer have to update your plug-in when more rankings are supported or bug fixes are rolled out.
If you have trouble with the widget or find a bug, you can contact me or leave a comment here in this thread. Let me know what you think!
Note: In order to have a Technorati rank, your site must be a blog and must be submitted to Technorati.
