Customize your blog widget
Blogger Julie Meloni (No Fancy Name) has written a detailed guide to customizing your LibraryThing blog widget. As she explains, LibraryThing provides three preset styles and a "don't style it" setting. She explains how to use the "don't style it" setting to customize the widget to your taste, in the process providing a smart but low-impact introduction to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Ms. Meloni is a graduate student in English who also writes computer guides—a great combination!Check it out at http://nofancyname.blogspot.com/2005/12/styling-librarything-blog-widget.html .

Here's what I want to know: how difficult would it be to display a user's custom image in his widget?
Ooh! That's a good idea. The trick is figuring out the right size for it. But yes, it could be done.
I really only asked because there's some variance in Amazon's image sizes (most are 140px tall, but the newer ones seem to all be 160px). I'll admit, some of the covers I've uploaded are just resized versions of Amazon's stuff.
It'd just be easier to style 'em if we could count on a certain maximum height. What size are large images currently being scaled to?
