Section Widget WordPress PlugIn Review
Post One of Two
If you live in Appleton, Wisconsin and would like to learn how to build your own WordPress website in just four hours I highly recommend you join us at the Appleton ATW Airport on January 16, 2010.
By far Section Widget has to be close to the top of my favorite WordPress Plugins and made my recent 20 WordPress PlugIns I would die without post.
With this plugin you have the ability to put sidebar items on only specific pages, specific posts OR only on posts in a specific category. Honestly, I think the uses for this are probably limitless.
Check back tomorrow for the video and post on using this plugin with it’s “tabbed” feature.
Have you tried Section Widget or one that is similar? What are your favorite uses for it?

This is a great idea Michelle because it makes your sidebars more focused and therefore more useful to your blog readers. It’s also good for SEO and Google, because it reduces the amount of duplicate content across your site (something that Google really discourages). Thanks for the tip
Dr. Richard – glad you found the post useful! I really do love that plugin – especially for pages where I want it “clean” (like my contact page).

Installing section Widget now. Turns out I might just have a use for this plugin for a client. I’ll let you know if it works out.

Dave – def let me know how it goes. All the times I’ve stopped by your blog I’ve never checked to see what it is that you do. Will have to take a looksy at that!
I was looking for a plugin such as this one for one of my blogs, I will definitely try this one out and check out good it is. Thank you so much for pointing this one out.

Hi Michelle,
I can see how this plug in can be very useful. It piqued my attention in your post about 20 WP plug ins and now you give more information about it. Thanks.
The video is great, albeit a bit blurry when enlarged.
Being able to select by which post the widget will be displayed is something that I wished for but had no idea how it could be done.
I will definitely install the section widget either now or after reading your next post with a video on the subject.

Vance – oooohhhh make sure to let me know when your video goes live. For some reason the videos didn’t convert well when I added the opening/closing frames with Windows Movie Maker program. Videos are not my strong suit but I do them with my limited software because I know a lot of people are more visual learners.
That plugin will come in really handy when I start organising my blog, I just got a domain name for it a few days ago
Sarah – good luck with your site! There are some amazing plugins out there that will make the time spent on your WordPress site much more efficient!

Haven’t tried Section Widget before but I tempted to go play with it based on your love for it!
Gabe – be sure to let me know how you like Section Widget. If I had a monetized blog I could totally see even more use for it – for example only having affiliate links/banners show up on posts tagged in a certain category!
Terrific widget, Michelle! I use a plugin called Widget Context, but this looks even better! Thanks for posting!

Deana – glad you like Section Widget. I was using Context Widget for a split moment…until I found the other one!
Great site, Michelle and I’ve officially added you to my VA list!
