What will it look like?
This is what the Search Widget design (but not the content!) will be like:
Image 1: The search box (click for a bigger image):
Image 2: The Search Results. Note these are fake results. They are intended to just show you how the design looks (click for a bigger image):
There will be up to 3 results appearing on your page. When you click on any of the results you will be taken to the content providers’ Websites.
How do you embed the Widget onto a Website?
We’ll provide a small piece of javascript code and instructions for embedding it on your website. This is a simple task that your Web staff should be able to do.
What if I'm not able to embed the Search Widget on my Website - can I just add a link?
We will also have a Coming Home Search hosted by Digital NZ that you can link to. However, we'd like to encourage as many NDF partners as possible to use the widget option.
When should I make the Search Widget live?
The Coming Home search will not be functional until Tuesday 11th of November. We will be sending you the instructions and code next week but we ask that you don’t make it live until Tuesday 11th of November.
What's next?
We'll have full instructions on how to do this next week. We'll send you an email alerting you when it is available.
We will also have instructions about linking to the Coming Home Memory Maker which will allow people to craft their own expression of what ‘Coming Home’ means to them using a special video mixing tool. The Memory Maker uses Ideum's EditorOne software. It is being hosted on the Auckland War Memorial Museum Website and several National Digital Forum partners have provided fantastic and unique pictures, sound, text and moving images for it.

Where can I download Highres graphics - so I can incorporate them into my site. - (and style guide, license etc...)
I notice them appearing in a few places - NZhistory.net, NZlive ...
Hi there,
Do you mean the Coming Home logo graphics?
They have been provided by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage.
I'll find out if it is online anywhere but in the short term email me at fiona dot rigby at natlib dot govt dot nz and I can send them to you.

Thanks - is there a list of who is doing what somewhere as well - have found some stuff - it would be good to link it
we have started with christchurchcitylibraries.com/ComingHome/ but keen to link to more stuff - of course
Hi there
See NZLive
for the other events that have been registered. MCH is encouraging people to register their events on NZLive.
I'll be popping something up there when we're ready too. I'll be asking everyone who embeds the widget to register their details with us so I can show who is particpating.

Thanks have see the NZlive stuff - was more interested in who is putting up content and digitised material
Hi,
When shall we expect this? It's already Thursday! :)

The developers are finishing it off at the moment and the script will be available first thing tomorrow (Friday) morning.
Hmm, okay thanks. It's going to be fairly tight.
I still cant see the list of everyone involved.
The coming home widget may be cute - I haven't seen it - but I want to know who has done stuff - so I can link to it if i want - digitalnz may not be the centre of my universe
Hi Paul,
I'm not sure what else people are doing (outside of this stuff that I'm helping to coordinate). I'll put a note up on this blog and ask.
Fiona
