At the request of John Reese, and to make things easier for WordPress users who wish to enable the BlogRush widget on their website, I’ve gone ahead and done a couple quick video tutorials.
These video tutorials do require that you have Flash payer installed and enabled with your browser. The first video deals with adding the BlogRush widget if you have a widget-enabled blog with a widget-friendly theme.
If you’re not running the latest version of WordPress, which has Widgets built in, don’t have the Widget plugin installed, or the theme you’re using isn’t widget-friendly, then you should view the second video which explains how to edit the sidebar directly to add the code.
In the second video, I’m using the default Kubrick theme as an example. The placement of your code will vary depending on which theme you’re using. Enjoy and I hope they prove useful.
- Adding BlogRush Widget using WordPress Widgets (2:21 1.8MB)
- Adding BlogRush Widget Directly to WordPress Sidebar (2:32 3MB)
If you have any questions, I’ll do my best to answer.
Please Note: These videos were created for WordPress users, not WordPress.com users. WP.com does not allow any type of JavaScript/PHP/Server side code to be added by users via widget or otherwise, therefore, adding the BlogRush JavaScript code is not possible.
These are very useful tutorials Teli. I had a bit of a guesswork job inserting the widget on a straight out the box blog, but it worked out ok at the end.
Will definitely recommend these to my readers though

I recently developed a free wordpress plugin called “BlogRush Click Maximizer”. By using it you can vastly improve your Click Through Rate.
This allows you to control what you want to display in BlogRush. You can even write alternate - short and catchy title just for BlogRush.
You will have total control of what appears over the BlogRush Network.
