Widgets: svClips

svClips: a library of "odd clips"

svClips picks text clips at random from my huge database of oddities. Lots of different categories here, from "Words of Wisdom" to "Horror Clips" and "Natural Disasters". Here it is:

How to Use It

Choose a category first. Then click Next to go to the next clip.

Add svClips to your website!

I am working on a plan to allow users to add the svUnits widget to their own websites. I will be asking for a $2 donation, but there are many benefits over competing "free" tools:
  • No spying! I'm not saying everyone spies, but as a webmaster I have a hard time figuring out who to trust when it comes to add-ons. You never know what weird things they might be doing in the background. I'm not interested in gathering user data. I'm not in that market. I will count hits, so you know if people are using the tool, and that's all.
  • Configurability. With a user account on my website, I will provide tools to let you choose the widgets you want and configure them to fit your site better.
  • Pure javascript. The whole widget is a single Javascript file, configured by PHP on demand. Very easy to install. Just cut & paste a little piece of code.

More Notes

All clips are from the public domain, by permission or the authors, or used in the spirit of fair use (a.k.a. free advertising). This clip library was built by a single author, Scott Virtes, who always seems to have more oddities than he can use in his writing, however creative.
