I thought it would be awesome to add a widget to my website so that I could publish the movies that I was watching through NETFLIX. When I saw this widget building page online, I knew that I should share with everyone because I thought it was pretty neat. What I thought was even more interesting and what I would never have guessed, was that NETFLIX publishes several RSS feeds that list the movies in your queue, most recent rental activity, movies at home, recommendations, and movie reviews as well as top moves and new releases.
This widget uses the information from your RSS feed from NETFLIX to display these movies on your site. To get to your RSS feed page, just log in to NETFLIX first and then scroll down to the footer and there should be an RSS link. Then once you see a feed you want to show on your site, copy that URL and go to the widget site. Specific instructions are on the widget site and also support if needed. You also have the ability to change the style of the widget like I have.
By the way I am using the blogging function in Microsoft Office 2007 to post this entry.

So the other day I signed up for Netflix and it’s pretty legit. They have a 2 week trial which you can sign up for but was not the reason I signed up. Most of my energy was placed into typing in my name and waiting for my first movie to arrive. I chose to request Blood Diamond first as I had not seen it yet but I have wanted to for a long time. They mailed it out right away. The best part is that the distribution center is in Santa Ana so I think I received it the same day that they mailed it or at least the next day.
