In the Template HTML pane of your widget, simply perform these two steps:

1. Create a custom footer.

The custom footer code should be placed at the beginning of the widget HTML, and will look much like the following:

{stringify CustomFooter}
 <div class="footerClass">
  <a onclick="${ShowGetThisJS}"><img src="GetThis.jpg"></a>
 </div>
CustomFooter

Although you don't see it, the default footer code looks like the following. If you want to only make small adjustments to the widget footer, you can simply copy this into the CustomFooter tags like so and make modifications there:

{stringify CustomFooter}
<div class="buzzFooter" style="width:100%; padding:0px; background-color: #EEE;"> 
 <div style="float:left; width:66px; background-color:#eee;">
  <nobr>
  <a title="Get This" style="cursor: pointer;" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="${ShowGetThisJS}">
  <img border="0" style="margin: 3px;" alt="Get This" src="${BuzzAppUrl}/images/getThis_grey.png" /></a>
  </nobr>
 </div>
 <div style="float:right; text-align:right; padding:7px 4px 0px 3px !important; padding:4px 4px 0px 3px; width:55px;">
 <img border="0" style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.open(\'http://www.newsgatorwidgets.com\')" 
 src="${NGBaseUrl}/NGBuzz/Images/PoweredbyNG.gif" alt="Powered by NewsGator" />
 </div>
 <br clear="all" />
</div>
CustomFooter

2. Call the custom footer.

By default, the widget footer function call will look like this. It is located towards the bottom of the widget HTML code:

${% getBuzzFooter() %}

To call your custom footer, change it to:

${% getBuzzFooter({footerTemplate:CustomFooter}) %}
