Hi there.

I’m struggling to get the Goodreads Widget to show the books on my ‘currently reading’ list in my sidebar. I have followed the instructions in the help about this widget (including logging out to get the correct ID) but it just shows the Goodreads logo without any books. Any ideas?

My blog is: http://abbiesbabble.wordpress.com/
My Goodreads profile is: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/32162950-abbie

Thanks in advance!
Abbie

Is this the guide you are using? http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/

All you’ll need is the numeric part, so copy that and prepare to paste 32162950-abbie into the widget.

Hi. Yes this is the guide I used. And that’s what I pasted into the widget. No joy :-(

Here’s what I’m seeing in your Goodreads widget:

Do you see this now as well? or is the widget still blank when you visit your site?

Hmmm, you’re right, it seems to be working today. Weird, I didn’t change a thing!

It probably just needed a little time to refresh and sync up. Definitely let me know if this happens again though!
