If you could drop a note here to let me know when I can re-try, that'd be great. I'm eager to try and work my widget into social networks. Thanks-

I just tried MySpace and it errors out too.
The XML is not valid and cannot be imported
* The XML document is not valid: Reference to undeclared entity 'rsquo'. Line 3, position 143. -
Bob Thompson reported a problem in Widgetbox on November 03, 2008 20:42:
Lots of problems submitting to Bebo, Hi5, Netlog, iGoogle and Orkut.I tried to submit my widget to additional sites using WidgetBox's instructions and got all sorts of issues.
1. Bebo has updated their site and the instructions WidgetBox provides does not line up. It was close enough for me to make it work.
2. Hi5 said the XML that WidgetBox provided had an error. There was a problem with your XML (nulloak1app008-null-11d550f33b8 stream:3: expected local reference at `’')
3. NetLog said "Application Unavailable" when I tried to submit there.
4. iGoogle doesn't seem to have a sandbox. I clicked on the WidgetBox link and was taken to google.com/ig I kept trying and eventually got to the application to become a developer. After filling it out I was taken back to google.com/ig.
There is also no "personalize" link anymore, I think the terminology changed to "add stuff". When I did find the area to add a URL, iGoogle says the WidgetBox URL is not found.
5. WHen I tried Orkut, it said "There was an error getting information about this application:"
I'm not sure if these are all issues surrounding a bad XML file or what, but I'm 1 for 5 so far and haven't gotten approved to try MySpace.
Thanks
