Using Widgets

I was asked about installing Blogrush in Wordpress so check out the following guide if you’d like to install Adsense, Blogrush, a subscriber form, or anything else on your Wordpress blog.

Installing whatever can be easily done with Wordpress Widgets.

Go ahead and log into your Wordpress admin panel.

Look for design and under that is widgets. Select widgets.

If you’re running a template with more than one sidebar, select the sidebar you want to install Blogrush or whatever else.

select side bar

Look over to the left side and you’ll see a bunch of different types of widgets. Look for the text widget and click add.

Give your new widget a title (1). If it’s Blogrush you’re adding, you may want to say in the widget’s title “Other Blogs Of Interest”.

Add your code (2).

Save changes (3) and you’re done.

Go ahead and open up a new window to view your blog with its new Widget.

If you are adding Adsense to your blog, the ads may not show right away. Give it 10 minutes because Google needs to crawl your blog’s content and find relevant ads.

Thanks for the instructions, but it did not work. I followed every step. I even tried removing it and did it a second time. Help!
