We’re on an interest sharing roll, this time with a widget to display a list of thing you’re enjoying to your blog. Ali Hassan’s All Consuming widget lets you make a list of the books, movies, and music you’ve marked on the sidebar and shows the things you’re “consuming” right now. It’s very easy to use. You must have am All Consuming account, a widget-ready theme and the widgets plugin installed. All you need to do is download the file and add it to the plugins directory. This is great for new and experienced users alike. After that you can modify these options:

• The title that shows up at the top of the list


• The username for your All Consuming account


• How many items are displayed on the list


• The tags of items you want to display. That means it can display a list of music and books you’ve marked in your All Consuming account.
  


• Turning the header on or off
  


• There’s a little box you can check if you want to show the list of items you’ve consumed. The completed items list is a new feature and for this to work you have to put in the date you’ve completed an item on the All Consuming site.
  

The titles lead to a link to the All Consuming page of the item, with the reviews and users who have consumed them as well. Any tweaks to the list’s formatting can be done on css, so get those coding skills ready. Time to get started on those books, now!
