Nobody knows football better than Pennsylvania. Accordingly, who else would you expect to be riding the early wave of the MaxPreps widget than the Pennsylvania Football News, Professor Thomas Elling, Editor Emeritus.

Photographers Embrace the Widget

November 26, 2008

Though I am sure there are many more out there, Scott Seighman in Ohio and Jonathan Bloom in Connecticut were two of the first photographers to deploy the widget on their business sites for the purpose of supporting their local schools and teams:

Nice job by the folks at Princeton Packet Online, which owns and services 12 weekly newspapers in central Jersey. They are the first to make the conversion from MaxPreps traditional media affiliate service to the Widget. Great work Edith!

MaxPreps Data Widget Has Arrived

November 25, 2008

Dear Web Content Manager:

The MaxPreps.com data widget is now available and ready for immediate deployment.

Enjoy the same great content syndication service that major newspapers and television stations across the country have been receiving for years from MaxPreps, America’s Source for High School Sports.

The widget allows sites such as yours to receive all MaxPreps schedules, results, standings, leaderboards, rankings and player statistical data for your favorite schools and coverage-area teams. This is not a link, bur rather an imbedded and robust content-generating module.

The widget is easy to install and can be functioning on behalf of your company or organization within minutes. It may be customized to draw data from one school or up to 150 schools. The choice is yours and it’s free.

Simply select the sport (s) and the team (s) you wish to receive data for, generate the corresponding .html code and upload the coding on the designated page; MaxPreps’ data will begin working instantly on behalf of you, your web site, your school (s) and your entire sports community.

Please contact me if you have any questions. And thank you for considering MaxPreps for your online data needs.

Sincerely,

Jim
