How about checking to see if the viewer is admin. If admin. give a notice or link to update settings for the widget, and if the viewer is not admin then print nothing to screen? <br><br>This will remind the admin that they have a widget they need to configure and yet there will be no questions about possible spamming or other concerns. <br>

The user would have to add the widget manually and enter their info then. I know it is possible to remove the username from the Twitter widget and you will still get a feed but if you remove the user ID from the Flickr widget you get nothing. And the Flickr widget is actually Matt Mullenweg's Flickr feed since we don't have a Flickr account yet here at PressWork. ;)</font></div>
