Win a free ticket by posting a widget!

We are 9 days away from Flash and the City! As of now, there are 38 tickets left. If you’re a procrastinator or just ready to join the Flash community for the premier conference in 2010, we will be picking one lucky winner of a full conference ticket!

What’s the catch? No catch. It’s just 2 simple steps.

1. We have a widget for you to embed on your site! Simply copy and paste the code below into your site’s sidebar:

<br />
&lt;div&gt;<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
/* &lt;![CDATA[ */<br />
var flashvars = {youtube: &quot;undefined&quot;};<br />
var params = {};<br />
var attributes = {};<br />
attributes.id = &quot;FATC&quot;;<br />
swfobject.embedSWF(&quot;http://blog.flashandthecity.com/widget/widget.swf&quot;, &quot;widgetAlt&quot;, &quot;200&quot;, &quot;250&quot;, &quot;9.0.0&quot;, &quot;http://blog.flashandthecity.com/widget/flash/expressInstall.swf&quot;, flashvars, params, attributes);<br />
/* ]]&gt; */<br />
&lt;/script&gt;</p>
<p>&lt;div id=&quot;widgetAlt&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;a href=&quot;http://flashandthecity.com&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Flash and the City banner&quot; src=&quot;http://blog.flashandthecity.com/wp-content/uploads/banners/200x150.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Flash and the City banner&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />

It’ll appear as our official Flash and the City widget.

For embedding, you have two options:

  • Option one is to set up SWFObject as your default Flash embedding tool. If your site is powered by WordPress, you can simply install the WP-SWFObject plugin and copy/paste the widget code into your sidebar.
  • Option two is to just copy and paste the code straight from an already embedded widget by clicking the ‘Share’ button, and then ‘Copy’. The code will be automatically copied to your clipboard.

2. Enter a tweet with the #FATC hash tag along with a link to your site and the FATC site, like so:

I just posted the #FATC widget on mydomain.com – Check out http://www.flashandthecity.com for more info!

The contest ended Friday, May 7 at 12pm noon EST New York time.

UPDATE: We have a winner! Zedia wins the widget contest for posting our widget on his site! Check out his blog: http://www.zedia.net/
