Part of the reason I started this blog was to motivate myself to finish projects. In fact, at one time, a project of mine was to program a blog from scratch as a way to learn ASP.NET. Unfortunately that project didn't get too far. I think that part of my problem with finishing these side projects is that I have always chosen projects with too large of a scope, and I just don't have the extra time. I have many of these projects left unfinished.
However, I am proud to be able to post an actual completed project. I decided to create a Blogger Gadget and the result is the 'Blog Flower'. The gadget is pretty simple, I was able to complete it in about half a day or so. Most of the work was actually creating the graphics. As you might guess the gadget adds a flower to a blog, and it will start to wilt and die if a new post isn't added frequently enough. It can be thought of as a motivator to post regularly, because who wants to see a dead flower on their blog?
To add this to your own blog simply enter in your blog name and click the add to blogger link.

sooo...just how often do you need to post to keep the flower happy?
It is pretty conservative. You would need to post every 5 days to stay happy. Posting every 10 days would be droopy. After 10 days it dies!
I think I will update more often. I don't want my cute flower to die.
This is adorable! I just added it to my blog. I'm almost tempted not to update for a couple of days just to see what happens...but I guess that's not the point, now is it?
I'll just have to see how wilted it gets when I go away over the summer. LOL!
Thanks for putting this gadget out there...
Thanks!
