Are you someone who is constantly working on so many things all at once? Don’t you wish people would be able to see your progress? Or maybe you could keep a progress bar on your blog’s sidebar just for the sake of knowing your progress.

Worry no more! The progress bar widget is interesting. You could have different progress bars for each project you are working on. There are instructions in English so it should not be too troublesome.

Things to love about it:
You could change the color of the indicator. These are the things you could customize:

• Background color


• Bar color


• Frame color


• Frame width

It is simple to add. Just put the widget file in the plugins directory and activate it. (Don’t forget to make sure you have the WordPress widgets plugin active and that your theme is friendly to widgets )

You could directly put a link to your project’s url and when your progress bar shows up, people can click the name of your project and see how it goes. Maybe you’re working on a really fun game and a series of stories. You could have them all listed on your sidebar

The not so good stuff

If you are not familiar with hexadecimal colors, you might not find it easy to use because you’d still have to learn what number to put in the boxes. You could go read up on hexadecimal colors as soon as you can hit the create new tab option and make a Google search on it

Another not so good thing about it is that the blog where it could be found is in a language other than English. The creator of the widget could write in English so I think it shouldn’t be that bad. Then again, it’s really straightforward so you might not need a how to put it on your blog guide. Tweaking it would be another matter though.
