Wedding Blog Network

BridalTweet Will Help Drive More Traffic to Your Wedding Blog!
This new BridalTweet Member benefit is completely free.  The more wedding bloggers that participate, the more potential traffic there is for all participants.

What is the new feature? Essentially, my goal is to help your wedding business by driving more traffic to your wedding blog. To make this happen, I've created a simple widget (scroll down to view this) that our Members can place on their wedding blogs.  Once the widget is installed on your wedding blog, your latest blog posts will automatically be "broadcasted" to the other wedding blog sites that also carry the widget. Similarly, your blog will now contain this widget, which will include links to other participating wedding bloggers.

Why would you want this?  This new widget will increase your visibility across the network of wedding blog sites.  It can bring you new traffic and keep your blog content fresh.

What do you need to do for your blog posts to show up in the network widget?
Step #1: The widget is easy to install and resize if you've got a blog or website.  Simply find the widget below on this page and click on the button that is labeled Get Widget.  You will then see options for various places to publish this widget. Choose an option and copy the code into your blog or website.  You will then see options for various places to publish this widget. Choose an option and copy the code into your blog or website.
Step #2: You will also need to include a link to BridalTweet on your blog page. This will get your blog into the network feed. We advise you to place this link under the widget.  Please title the link: BridalTweet Wedding Forum

Help! You installed the widget but you don't see your blog in the widget feed!  If you search for your blog name or a recent post and it shows up in Google Blog Search, your posts will automatically get picked up by the BridalTweet Wedding Blog Network.  Whether you see your latest post in the widget or not depends on a lot of factors such as when Google Blog Search picks up your post and updates the feed. It also depends on how many other bloggers are publishing new posts around the same time. People viewing the widget across the network at different times may see lots of different posts in the feed.

Hello,
I am not very tech savvy. I am trying to put the widget on our wordpress blog. Do you know where I should copy the code? I put the link to bridal tweet, and tried a few things to get the widget to work. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Here are instructions for placing the widget in a wordpress blog. Go to your wordpress dashboard. Go to Appearance. Go to Widgets. Add a text box. Paste the widget code into your text box. Click save. That should do the trick.

Stay tuned - I am going to attempt putting this on my blogspot I just created! Wish me luck because I am not very tech savvy either!

This is so cool and soooooo easy to install on blogger.com. I did not even realise I had it installed. All I did was click a few times and there it was. Thank you so much for everything.

Hi Christine,

I am pretty tech savvy and added the Wordpress code to a text widget box, but it doesn't work. I know that only certain types of html code work on wordpress. The code provided for this widget is not working in javascript nor in flash. Any suggestions?
Comment by YourLifEvents.com Lifestyle Blog on January 26, 2010 at 12:17pm
Yes, I've confirmed that javascript is not permitted in WordPress.com so the widget will not display properly on wordpress.com blogs. Very unfortunate. It also will not permit the flash version. I know there are other ways to write code for widgets, that will work, but I am not that tech savvy;)

Hi LifEvents - Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will do my absolute best to help you but I can't promote that there will be resolution right away. I'll let you know if we find a fix to this. - Christine

How do you apply it to blogspot?
Comment by Curtis Copeland on January 28, 2010 at 11:30am
A great tool! Thanks for helping us get our wedding blogs linked and scanned by Google. It was a quick and easy install. This will definitely help brides find our wedding photography site.

Have a great day,

Curtis

This is a pretty great idea! I love being able to keep the content fresh - especially when I don't have time to update frequently. Thanks Bridal Tweet!
