Number 8 in Widget-A-Day is a reddit widget. It'll display your latest liked items on reddit.com. You can edit the display, count, and username. Not much of widget (can be kinda done via the RSS widget), but it'll be the closer in Widget-A-Day. I might have one on Saturday, but there's no guarantee. It's been [...]
