How difficult is it?
Easier than reading this page. A 5 year-old can personlize it, and see their changes at the same time! A difficulty rating of 2 out of 10, where 10 being the hardest.
What all can I personalize
Colors, Size, Title, AutoPlay, Speed, number of items to display, seperator properties, etc.
My widget seems to be cut-off?
Make sure that in your WordPress dashboard -> Plugins -> AutoPublish… -> Settings page: Height and Width on Page are THE SAME as the ‘actual height’ and the ‘actual’ width of the widget. Below the Height/Width values: click the respective links to see what the values should be FOR YOU. (This happens when a user changes the size of the widget and forgets to tell WordPress of the new values)
What platforms are supported other than WordPress?
You can add the My Highlights widget to any webpage: on your Profile Page on Social Networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, Xanga, Tagged, Bebo, BlackPlanet, and many more!
Glossary
MicroBookmark: a short url (e.g. http:/rooh.it/warSux) that goes directly to the highlights on a page.(Power users can think of it as reader defined anchor tags with highlights)
MicroShare: the ability to share just a small snippet highlighted. This could be as – embedded highlights (in email, or webpage) with a MicroBookmark, or – just highlights, with a MicroBookmark to the actual page so as to maintain the context and credibitlity.
MicroSave: the ability to save interesting parts of any web page automatically
MicroBlog: aka the “My Highlights” widget – allows users to automatically blog about the interesting things they saw on the Internet.
You can add it to pretty much any blogging platform or CMS or any website, anywhere!

Other Notes
“Instant Highlighter”
(Related WordPress widget)
- Put a highlighter button on your site
- anyone can highlight your website instantly.
- Very Viral – cuts through information overload.
. Actually it’s escaping the search string with functions provided from Wordpress, so if you find Wordpress secure, means that the plugin is secure as well.
