What's a Widget?
Created by Author-Programmer extraordinaire Paul Hawke, the Word Count Widgets are a set of dynamic images and pages that you can embed in or link to from any web page. There are Widgets to display personal, regional, and head-to-head word-count progress. (There's no need to embed them in your sig here on the site - we display your word count and progress on your profile and every forum post already!)
The Widgets require you to know a user id number, or region id number. You can find your user id number by looking at the URL of your View Profile page. You can find a region id number by looking at the URL of one of the regional forums pages.
Participant Widget
The Participant Widget is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/LiveParticipant/75486.png" />
Participant Widget With Username
The Participant Widget with Username features the NaNoWriMo username attached to the user id. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/LiveSupporter/75486.png" />
My Month
My Month is a simple display showing overall progress and how you did on any given day. Light green and red show where you were above or below the goal for the day, bold green and red are reserved for days where you did exceptionally well or monumentally badly. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/MyMonth/75486.png"></a>
Mini Graph
The MiniGraph is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoMiniGraph/75486.png" />
NaNoWriMo Graph
The NaNoWriMo Graph is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoGraph/75486.png" />
Progress Report
View my progress reportThe Progress reports is a full page detailed report on your progress. Example:

Word War
The Word War Widget requires from two to five user id numbers, separated by dashes. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/WordWar/75486-301.png" />
Region Status
A very simple graph showing a single region's name and wordcount. Example:

Region War
The Region War Widget takes from two to five region id numbers, separated by dashes. Example:

Options
Many reports can now be modified with options. You can mix and match the options, turning the wordcount off and other options on. Play with it and see what you like! Each option in the URL is separated with dashes (-) and can be given in any order.
- wc
- Turn word count off
- days
- Turn "days left in nano" on
- pc
- Turn "percent complete" on
- goal=12345
- Where 12,235 is the new goal, superceding the default 50K
- people
- Display number of people in a region
- average
- Display average words per author in a region (this counts authors with their home region set who have posted a word count)
Examples:
My Month - Custom Goal
NanowrimoUtils/MyMonth/75486-goal=30000-pc.png
will display "my month" with a goal of 30,000 words and add "percentage complete" to the display in addition to wordcount.
Word War - Custom Goal
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/WordWar/161-301-100300-goal=75000.png" />
Will display a 3-person word war with everyone's graph scaled against a common goal of 75,000 words.
Mini Graph - Percent Complete & Days
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org//NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoMiniGraph/75486-wc-pc-days.png" />
Will display my mini-graph showing just the percent complete and days left because the "wc" option turned off the normal wordcount.
