Update on BlogRush - Now In New Flavors

by Sheryl Sisk

John Reese announced today that BlogRush will soon be available in new “flavors” - different color schemes that will help bloggers integrate the widget into their blog design more seamlessly.

He also takes on the “pyramid scheme”rs. One thing I never understood about this complaint - how can it be a scheme when no one’s out any money? This is a free tool, and as one of John’s commenters pointed out, either it works or it doesn’t. If it works, you keep it and so much the better. If it doesn’t, you aren’t out anything. You just take it off. What’s the problem? (And “you lose integrity” is soooo not an answer. I’m sorry - if a potential reader thinks I have less integrity for trying to offer my readers something extra, then that’s a reader I can do without.)

I’m not yet ready to call myself a BlogRush cheerleader yet but I’m certainly failing to see the support behind the complaints, at least so far.

    I agree with you about BlogRush. I added it, and it seems to be working for me. Maybe not over the top, and I’m no cheerleader, either, but in my case, it’s worth keeping. For now, anyway.
