I think your wordpress.com readers may benefit from knowing that bloggers with free hosted wordpress.<strong>com</strong> blogs cannot use the BlogRush javascript widget http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/javascript-can-i-use-that-on-my-blog/ Perhaps you may wish to consult what staff have said: <blockquote> mark Key Master November 17th, 2007 at 5:51 pm There is no official policy against Blogrush. There wasn't one for mybloglog and that waited until someone (engtech?) found a js-free way of using it. The others you mention above are static links whereas Blogrush has changing content. Widgets and links which are there to increase readership are not a bad thing, just their js implementation is. The only viral thing I recall which we really did not like was one in which people filled a post or two with dozens and dozens of links. That sort of thing is not good because it benefits only a few and exploits many. If anyone wants clarification, send details to Support and we'll take a look. But most of the time it's going to need javascript so the widget has dynamic content so the odds are against it. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=18081&page&replies=7#post-135806</blockquote> Cheers and happy blogging. :-) BlogRush

Until this is done the BlogRush widget is not shown. I think that once he adds it he will enter his code. Paul - this is a widget that the user should select to add into his sidebar.
