DoD Launches Photo Widget

Week of October 19, 2009

The American Forces Press Service, the Defense Department's vehicle for news and feature content on www.Defense.gov, unveiled a widget for photographs. The widget, available under the Widgets tab on the site, allows users to receive the latest Defense Department imagery in real time on their own websites or social networking pages by cutting and pasting one short line of code. The widget appears as a 240-by-156-pixel graphic box - about 3 by 4 inches - and cycles through at least eight photos. It?s updated frequently throughout the day.
