What's a Website Widget?

What'sUp 24/7 Widgets are plug-ins for your website that allow you to display:

  • Event calendar(s): Promote your organization's events only and/or the events of organizations that you are co-promoting.

  • A local business directory: Promote organizations in your zip code and/or organizations you are co-promoting.

  • A listing of area destinations: Promote destinations in your zip code and/or destinations of organizations you are co-promoting.
Example: What'sUp 24/7 Event Widget on blackfordcounty.com

  4. Click the "Select" button on whichever widget you'd like to create (Event, Directory or Destination).

  5. Use the checkboxes "Display Organization" and "Display Co-promoted" until your widget example displays exactly how you'd like them to.

You might have noticed by now that we are big fans of small towns. Quiet neighborhoods, minimal traffic, unique shops--count us in! What'sUp 24/7 is all about connecting communities and showing off their value. So here's a highlight one of our newest Early Adopting Partners, Tipton County, Indiana. Kegan Schmicker is the executive director of the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce. Kegan sees his community through a unique lens because he is both a newcomer and a very involved citizen. He talked me through some of the best that Tipton County has to offer. Put Down Roots in Tipton County One of the first things Kegan mentioned was how welcoming the community is. Small towns can hold the stigma of being unwelcoming to outsiders, but you won't find that to be true in Tipton. Not only did Kegan feel very welcomed after moving there, but he was able to join the Chamber of Commerce just 6 months after he arrived. With young families looking for their first home, affordability of h...

Photo by @thatsjustwill 1. Mercadito Taqueria Let's start with the truck that was recommended the absolute most! Mercadito means “Little Market” in Spanish. Mexican grocery stores will often have a taqueria tucked in a corner where shoppers can stop by for traditional tacos and tortas. The taqueria serves as a gathering place for people of the community to share stories and chismes (gossip). Our offerings will encompass some Los Angeles street style fare and other globally inspi...

Destinations and Drive-Bys - The New Way to Travel

By  Phillip Anderson ,  Life off the Highway  and What’s Up 24/7 Why do we travel? Visiting family and friends, escape, learning, connecting or all of the above.  How far do you have to go to ‘travel?’ There is an actual definition for traveling — 50 miles one way for pleasure. For the more curious, there is the art of ‘wandering’ or Life Off The Highway as I call it. To me wandering is, Finding a place or space that changes your rhythm, moves your feet, clears your head, and touches your soul.   I teach Cultural Heritage Tourism in Indiana University’s Tourism, Event, and Sports Management Program. We spend a lot of time assessing the cultural assets that already exist in our communities and are worth promoting. Having a product doesn’t create an audience. The key question is “What are we seeking to accomplish by traveling?” There are all kinds of responses but the core answer is the same. We seek rich experiences of all shapes and sizes. For example, my fami...
