I did a few tweaks to the Scribomatic widget last night. You can now change the size of the font (I also changed the default size from 10pt to 11pt so it looks nicer on Firefox). If you want to make your font size bigger or smaller, check out the widget page on scribomatic.com for the extra line of code you’ll need to add.

Thanks to Patti Sorge for the suggestion. Patti also pointed out that the widget won’t work on MySpace. I hadn’t thought to check it on there and when I investigated I found very few widgets now work on MySpace.

I can only guess they were getting malicious code being embedded in their pages so they’ve dropped support for any javascript and they disable the iframe tag, so I’m a bit stumped as to how to get it to work there. If anyone had any ideas how to make widgets MySpace friendly, please let me know, as Google, and MySpace for that matter, haven’t been much help on this one.

Once again, thanks to everyone that’s using the widget, it makes the hours of work I put into it worthwhile and it makes me go all goosebumpey when I scroll down some of my favourite blogs and see it there trundling away.

If anyone has any ideas for any other developments on the Scribomatic front, let me know. If I get some more spare time next week I might add the ability to change the font…

I’ve also resolved my what-shall-I-write-next issue by starting on a fresh spec script. It’s the comedy film idea I started developing earlier this year (thanks for the inspiration Danny!)…

It’s shaping up in my head quite nicely, a kinda Dogma meets League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse meets Bridget Jones.

I have no idea if I can actually write comedy, so it’ll be an interesting exercise. I went to Uni with a Benedictine Monk, (Hi Dunstan!) who once told me that if I developed my style I’d be quite funny by the time I was 30. I’m now 5 years beyond that so I’ve had plenty of time to work on it.
