So ...
Once you have published your new custom widget, go to Appearance => Widgets and drag the "Widget Blocks Widget" into the sidebar widget area (or any other supported widget area).
And all you have to do, is to select the widget block created earlier:
Finally, don't forget to save your changes ...
As you can see, is extremely easy to create your own custom widgets in Wordpress. The fully featured visual widget editor will allow you to create literally anything you want ...
Cool, isn't it?
And that's it my friends!

Although I do have a question.
If I use this widget box on a side menu, can I build a post page
with my product links in this text? Or would the widget box make the links 'dead' links?
I have been trying to figure out a product page for two weeks now.
It's getting frustrating cause it's taking too much time.
I also want to build a landing page so I can start building a list.
I'm stuck.....
Any suggestions?
Have a Happy Day!
The sidebar widget and the "post page" are two different components. What are you trying to achieve here?
Landing page for list building? Again, it's a bit confusing ... You can create a landing page just like you would create any other page ... You just need to include the sign-up form of the given list building/autoresponder platform.
I will try to explain a bit better,
I want to create a page that would contain my products in a categorized manner. My website is in the Health and Wellness niche but I cover a variety of areas with my posts. Therefore I have products to do with three different categories. Instead of filling up my blog post or web content with affiliate links, I was considering a page to refer to any interested buyers, and it would have my featured products, as per category, as well as other products to buy.
My categories are Healthy Mind, Fitness, and Natural Healing.
Now for the list.
Does WA do the autoresponders through our platform or do I need to purchase an outside source for this?
Hope this helps you understand what I'm aiming for here.
If not, no worries, I won't quit till I figure it out. lol
Thank you for your time and patience today.
Keep smiling :)
No, WA doesn't have any autoresponder features. You'll have to sign up for an emailk service provider like Mailchimp or AWeber and they will give you an HTML code to insert the sign up form into your landing page.
This widget training got me thinking about how to go about this idea again. That's the relation to the video.
And I have been trying to learn more about the autoresponders but wasn't sure if that was provided here with WA.
That's all and thank you for the help today.
Have a Happy Day!
