A few people having problems getting BlogRush onto their blogs have asked me for some help... If you need it too, here it is:
To add BlogRush to your ActiveRain blog, here are the steps:
- Open a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, whichever) and go to the BlogRush site (http://www.blogrush.com/r92794589).
- Open another browser and login to ActiveRain.
- On the BlogRush site: Signup. During the signup process, they'll show you a block of javascript code to put on your blog. It should look something like this (note that they are all unique, so be sure not to use mine!).
Note: If you signed up and moved right past that code, you can see it again by logging into BlogRush. As soon as I log in, it shows me a page ("Step 5") that has that code on it. If you instead see the "Dashboard" click on the black "Get Code" button toward the top of the page.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
blogrush_feed = "20156217";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://widget.blogrush.com/show.js">
</script>
- "Select" and then "Copy" the code that was shown to you in Step 1 above.
- Log in to Active Rain. Click on the "My Home" link at the top of the page.
- In the left-hand side navigation, click on "My Settings"
- On the "My Settings" page, there is a section labeled "Blog Description:" use this one, NOT the "Blog Description Text:" one. It must be the "Blog Description:".
- After the blog description that you have provided (if any) Paste the code block you got from BlogRush. Click the 'Update' button to save your changes.
- Go back to the page on BlogRush where you got the script. This part was odd for me -- on BlogRush there is a button that you click after you install the code. For some reason, when I did that, it kept showing me that same page. I just clicked the "SKIP" link at the bottom of the page, and finished up.
- That's it! If you go to your ActiveRain blog, you should see the BlogRush widget in the right-hand side of the page, below your picture!
