Having Problems With Your Sezwho Installation?

The following information (most likely) only applies to Blogger/Entrecard members.

Three days ago, Entrecard made the announcement of their pairing with Sezwho, in what appears to be one of the most exciting changes to happen to the blogging community on Entrecard since it's inception. After dealing with my initial frustrations with installing Sezwho, I found that I was actually over thinking the whole process and making it much more complicated than necessary. It really is (almost) as easy as it sounds. Read carefully, from the EC blog:

"If you have Blogger, you’re going to add a page element HTML/Javascript and paste some code. You don’t need to re-register if you’ve already registered through Entrecard. Also please note that if you have Blogger, SezWho takes a few hours to crawl and start sending notifications to us."

It's pretty much that simple. For people on Blogger, you will initially register with Sezwho from your Entrecard dashboard, and will not have do a separate registration at the Sezwho website. (The support forum at Sezwho is a separate registration however.) You will receive an email with a line of script, login, and password. Go to your customize page, add a page element, and use the html/javascript choice. Copy and paste the script code they gave you, click save, then click on save on the layout page itself. That's it. Nothing will show up in your sidebar because the code is not for a widget, but just so Sezwho can link to you. The rating stars and other Sezwho elements should show up in your comment section within a few hours, as soon as they have time to crawl your content. If you want a widget, that is available on the site, along with a bunch of other options that warrant further exploration.

Obviously, everyone's experience is not going to be identical, and I admit, a little more information about it's less than obvious installation would have been helpful in the beginning, but it's not rocket science. Explore the links on the Sezwho home page, read the Entrecard blog, and don't be too put off by all the frustrated posts in the support forum at Entrecard. Right now, many people's questions, answers, and issues are flying around in a cloud of confusion within the Entrecard community. I, for one think I've got it figured out; what I've got to work out next is where I'm going to find the extra time to play with all Sezwho has to offer and put it to work for me!
