  I’d really like to be able to add the Buzzfeed Widget to my blog:

  http://buzzfeed.com/network/widget

  Considering how much traffic Buzzfeed can potentially drive to various blogs at wordpress.com, I think its a no brainer. The last time they sent traffic to my Kosher Coke post I got thousands upon thousands of uniques per day for at least a week.

  can you please copy and paste the code that you’re trying to add in? The link that you give does not show an example of it.

  Please remember to place code here in teh forums in between backticks. That’s the key above the tab key and to the left of teh ‘1’ key on a standard pc keyboard.

  never mind, I see it. It’s a javascript. Best bet would be to submit this via feedback from your dashboard. Staff has siad many times over that that is the preferred method of requesting new features as they keep track of requests made in that manner.

  Good luck,

  Hi,

  Thanks for wondering about the Buzzfeed! We’ve gotten our act together and built a shiny new WordPress widget, which you will find here:

  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buzzfeed-hotness/installation/

  We’d love to get any feedback you have, so you can leave a comment on the plugin page or send us an email: editor AT buzzfeed DOT com.
  Thanks!

  Scott
  BuzzFeed editor

  Hello buzzfeed,
  Apparently you are not aware that we do not have plugins on this wordpress-MU (multi-user) blogging platform. Our software is different from the free standing wordpress.org software and posting your advertsing here may mislead wordpress.com bloggers into thinking that they can use your plugin on wordpress.com blogs when they can’t. :(

  In order to use this widget at wordpress.com staff would have to approve it and adapt it to run on wp-MU. The process for requesting this is to contact staff http://wordpress.com/contact-support/

  Thanks timethief,
  We’re following up on this through the staff and hope to have an option for wordpress.com bloggers soon.
