Need some help from a Wordpress Blogger

    Hi, I am testing out a new blog traffic widget for Wordpress but I haven't got a Wordpress blog myself. Is there anyone that can try it out for me? I've written the instructions here and want to see how it looks in action (and whether it works). Any help would be much, much appreciated.

    Why don't you just set up wordpress in a folder or subdomain on your pr5 website and try it out there?

    I checked it out, put it on a test blog here: http://www.esmartjob.com/new/

    I sized it 190x220 and used the networks/Business.php URL.

    If you want to mess around with it on my test blog let me know I will give you access to the blog.

    A link to www.WordPressMax.com with anchor text "WordPress Guides" would be appreciated.

    Hi Houdy,

    I can't see anything on the page you've given me.. I checked the source codes and can't find anything there either?

    Sorry, I was messing with different themes and had one activated without sidebar widgets. Try it now on the bottom right sidebar.

    Thanks Houdy, I'll put up your link on my website shortly. So this will only work with templates that are widget-compliant? Can I also see how it looks on a black blog background please?

    Yes the widget would need to be hard-coded into the sidebar if the theme is not widget ready.

    Check it out on the current theme, the only one I had installed with a dark background: http://www.esmartjob.com/new/

    That was quick! Cool, it looks good.. I wish the border wasn't there but for now, this will do. Is there anything I should add onto the instructions?

    Your link is up by the way :)

    Maybe a bit more about choosing/changing the size of the widget based on the theme that is being used.
