This is so cute and funky, I had to grab it. It’s called Wibiya – a super easy to install footer toolbar for your blog or website.

You can customise the applications that you show – including a share button, YouTube gallery, Twitter dashboard, a really nice search function, and best of all for bloggers, a real-time indicator of how many people are on the site *right now*. They have a bunch of applications, and keep adding more.

It’s easy to use – took me 10 minutes to install. You can choose your apps, your theme colours (I like purple), and then you grab the install code or file and you’re ready to go. So easy. There’s a free version (that I’m using), plus various paid versions also, with greater flexibility to design your toolbar and have it integrate seamlessly into your site.

So – enjoy! I highly recommend the search, it is much better than my current search at the top of the page (which I will now probably ditch, since it’s superfluous). I know I also have doubles of the RSS and Share function, but I’m not too worried about that. Love the new search though, I was just thinking today that I needed to fix the search that I have to give better results (like my old theme) – but now I won’t have to, because Wibiya’s search is great. Give it a try!

Had a hiccup with IE (I loathe that browser) but Wibiya’s troubleshooting is very good. I think it’s all good now, but please let me know if it’s not displaying nicely in your browser.

I’m always trying to think of ways to make the site easier and more enjoyable to use – what do you think?
