I wasn't going to place it on my blog at first because it wouldn't fit in the sidebar; however, they have a thinner version of the widget that does fit--although I don't know how well it would do as far as people actually looking at it to see what's written there. One of my main concerns from the beginning with BlogRush was the fact that I had doubts that people would actually take the time to look at the little widget to see what's posted there. The words are kinda clumped together and generally, website visitors are too lazy to take the time to figure read text that's all grouped together in an already bannerad-looking widget. I'll continue to check my stats but if after a few months it doesn't do much for me, I'm taking it off.
