TopSpots

This is a nice new widget for adding value to your blog or website. TopSpots AKA. Scratch//Back is absolutely FREE, and can start to make you a little bit of dough almost immediately. Simply sign-up for an account, and cut-and-paste the code into your website or blog.

I added it to my Blogger Sidebar in two steps:

  1. Edit your HTML by clicking on the 'template' tab, then clicking the 'Edit HTML' tab. Locate the DIV tab that contains your sidebar (my template calls it sidebar-wrapper)
  2. When you preview the change, you will most likely see the TopShops sidebar floating in mid-air somewhere behind your sidebar. To position it, we are going to add one simple line to the CSS:#ScratchBackWidget { float: right; overflow: hidden; }
That should put the widget into place, and you can sit back and watch the link requests roll in! (Or, if you are like me pay yourself $1.00 to populate your shiny new TopSpots with links to your own site.)

DISCLAIMER: This is just a hack to get the widget to display. Someone will probably write a bit of code to make this a proper blogger 'Page Element' - in fact, they may have already!
