Guys I have just talked with mithila. He says that his BlogRush code and the Adsense both are not working in wordpress. Well I know nuwan, sanda and my self personally in past have used all of those for our blogs. But we had our own domains. With my friends question I thought I would look in to the matter and see why it is.

This is what BlogRush told Me :

If BlogRush can be used on Wordpress blogs, why are there people saying that it can’t?

BlogRush works on any blog using WordPress software, however… WordPress, the company that makes the software, has a free blog hosting service at WordPress.com. Their service is not javascript enabled so our widget won’t work on WordPress.com hosted blogs, but will work on Wordpress blogs that are hosted outside of their system (on your own web site).

Make sure you watch the video tutorials on how to do this properly if you haven’t already. These can be found in the Step-By-Step Tutorial section on our site.

Dam this is really bad. I want to know if any Blogger Blogs have this issue. I feel not, because blogger gives template adjustment capability.

So guys does this means Wordpress sub domain owners can’t put Adsense, myBlogLog or Blogcatalog widgets ? Have you had experiences?

It works fine in blogger hosted blogs, and this is without adjusting the templates.

Blogs hosted for free by Wordpress can never incorporate any adverts in it. It is against their TOS. Free hosted blogs on Wordpress is just simply used for serious bloggers that have nothing to do with monetizing their blogs. No never.

Unfortunately, I cannot contribute constructively to this discussion, however, I am stunned that those with blogs hosted on Wordpress.com are experiencing these probs. It’s in no-one’s best interests to create such difficulties — perhaps posting to an appropriate forum, say Warrior Forum might bring you the answers you need.

Good luck;-D

One question that I have for you and your team: are you serving your blog from a linux box or a PC (like a windows server [win2k3 or WinXP server])? If you are on a non-IX platform (not linux or unix), I bet you are going to have more trouble than it’s worth. All of the widgets and plugins I have used work flawlessly on my blog and sites. However, I always serve off of a IX-based system (linux right now).

And, forget blogger! I still have some blogger blogs, but I’d rather serve my own (cannot trust Google and Blogger to keep my content safe!).

I’d be interested in knowing …

Thanks, and take care!

Steve

Don’t even bother with BlogRush. It is not worth it! Heisan said everything I wanted to add!
