Help! My Widget is Taking Over My Blogs! Anyone? Someone! C'Mon!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Fran Rokicki Realty, LLC

Pretty funny, it took me hours to make the widget for my new Business Referral Directory.  Once I figured it out, and tested it, it seemed to be a perfect way to get folks to my Business Referral Directory.  It could not be approved by the widget folks, because it is an entire website.  Oops!  They will allow me to use it on my own.  I posted it here on the rain, on my Google blogpress and on my Wordpress blog.  Charity Lane sent me an email last week, that my widget was popping up and taking over my blog.  What to do!  I tried to adjust it.  I made another new one.  No, it still became too powerful for my blogs.  Has anyone else had a similar technical glitch?  I removed it from my active rain blog.  It is still posted on my others.  I really would like it to be a click and go visual tool.  I just don't know how to have it accessible, without blocking out the blog information and posts.  Help!  Please let me know if there is a trick to having this type of information on the blogs.

Fran - not sure either but I am glad that you were able to fix it. I love reading your blogs. The business referral directory is very cool. Could you just set up a link on your sidebar to it?

Charity, I had it on the side bar, and after a few weeks it became agressive:)  I have asked the tech folks at Buffini and Company to look at it!  How funny is that?!
