Hey Guys,
I just created a new way for your readers to promote your blog for you. By adding the blogsurfer.us tab to your blog a reader can click the tab button and instantly move your blog to the #1 spot.
I’d love to hear any feedback you might have.

Unfortunately, it is useless for many of us. WordPress.com does not allow Javascript in any way, unless they changed it without telling me

Yeah… I am currently brainstorming a work around for this. If you self host your wordpress blog, or if you pay to alter your template you can use it… but for people using wordpress hosting for free there isn’t much you can do. That’s one nice thing about Blogger, you get a bit more freedom.

I added it to my wordpress blog and it seems to work fine.
Take a look.

Where can we get that tab from?

When you re-add your blog to the blogroll (add you blog for the second or more time) the code will appear on the “thank you” page.
Let me know if you have any questions about how to add it to your blog.

I think it’s a great feature. Only thing is, can’t it easily be abused? Is there a limit to how often you or your readers can promote your blog?

Thanks!… there is no limit on how often your blog can be moved up, so yes technically someone could abuse it… but it would be no different than someone who manually re-adds their blog continually throughout the day. I am monitoring the “Move Me Up” submissions and will create usage restrictions if needed, but so far the response and usage has been exquisite.
Thanks for the great feedback!

i posted it but now it only updates the one blog.. i have 6 on word press???

Each time you re-add a blog url the page will generate a unique code snippet for that blog.
If you have 6 different blogs you will need to re-add each blog and copy the code snippet for that blog into a text widget. Email me if you have any further questions and I can walk you through the process if needed.

OK, here’s a stupid question. I have two blogs, with the Blogsurfer move me up tab on one of them. I want to add the code to my other blog, but I’m damned if I can find the code anywhere on the Blogsurfer blog. Can some kind soul please post the link to the page?
Thanks,
Jon

Hey Jon,
You get the code when you post your blog URL to the BlogSurfer.us blogroll.
Click the “Post Your Blog” link in the upper right of the page. Enter your blog’s info, validate, then submit and the code will be generated on the confirmation page.
