Is the Shelfari widget free?

Yes. Shelfari is completely free. Enjoy!

Does it work on my blog / web site?

The Shelfari widget works on most blogs and social networks, including Blogger, LiveJournal, MySpace, Typepad, Xanga, Vox, Wordpress.com and more. It also works on Facebook. To create a widget enter your site URL in the text box on the right side and press the Get Started button.

How do I add books to my widget?

If you're a new user, first enter your site URL and press the "Get Started" button to the right. You can then import books from your blog, web site, or file, or simply search for your books. Later on, you can add books to your Shelfari shelf, and they will show up on your widget.

Can I customize my widget?

The bookshelf has a few designs you can choose from. Maybe mahogany is your style, or maybe modern glass and steel is more your style. We’ve got you covered.

The text-based version of the widget can be customized by choosing what content you want to display (title, author, book cover, and purchase link), and the background, text and link colors. This version can be customized to fit in with your blog design.

Can I create my own bookshelf designs?

Not yet, but send us your ideas and designs and we’ll see what we can do.
