Now you can add the C4SS News Widget to your own website.

Just copy the HTML code below and insert it into your web page or template. The widget is 160 pixels wide by 350 pixels tall, and requires Flash. You can pass in a single parameter to set the maximum length of the article excerpt (default 90).
