Atlanta Real Estate Blog - Jarvis

I just posted this about this cool new tool, BLOGRUSH and had a comment about how to add it.  I thought it was common knowledge that everyone on Active Rain is a Techno-geek, but I guess not.  There are some mere mortals on this great site (myself included). 

So here's a step - by -step tutorial on how to add a widget, we'll use BLOGRUSH as our example widget.

1. First if you want to add a widget you'll likely need to sign up.  So you'll need to visit BlogRush's Website: Go Here: http://www.blogrush.com/r59502656
2. You'll want to sign up for an account.
3. Now there a part with most of these type of widgets that will as for a feed for your site.  Look at the bottom of your blog for  or just type your blog address and add/rss to the end of it. For example mine is http://activerain.com/blogs/jarvisteam/rss.
4. Now that you have submitted your blog to BlogRush they will take you to a page to insert the widget.  There is some code there for you to copy.  CTRL+C after highlighting the code will do the trick.
5. Now go back to your active rain site. CLick on MY HOME
6. Click on MY Settings
7. Where it says "BLOG DESCRIPTION" insert or CTRL+V the code.  You can put anything you want in this section and it will appear on your side bar.
8. As for Blog Rush, once you have added the code look at your blog and look for the BlogRush logo on your sidebar.
9. Once that's done you'll have to wait a day or two to see if they approve your Blog. IF you have been blogging for at least 2 or 3 months, you should be fine.

I've bolded the steps that actually have to do with the widget adding.

I hope this helps someone.
