hello again,
thanks Urielster for the so quick response, and thank you for the clarification.
The URL is vitobotta.com but the blog is not live, and you can't see anything yet. So I guess I'll hide the widget for now, go live and wait a little bit. When I go live I'll also come back here so you can have a look.

Hi, I was just about to post the same question. I am working on a Wordpress blog and am trying the Outbrain rating system with the most popular widget.
For some reason, the widget only shows up on the homepage, but nothing is displayed on other pages or post pages. Is there any particular reason why this would happen?
Also, because the blog is not live yet and am still working on customising this Wordpress install, I have added some random content to the blog and tried to rate these fake posts myself to see how Outbrain works.
Before going live,is there any way i could "reset" the settings for my blog in Outbrain, deleting the data for these posts and start over?
BTW, does the plugin need some time before dsplaying the most popular posts in the widget? Would you recommend I disable the widget at the beginning and enable it when some data has been collected?
The problem is that in my template (based on Thesis) I am wrapping all the widgets in some divs, in the sidebars, with a header which displays custom titles for the widgets. So, for example, for Outbrain the title shown is "Top Rated". Now it happens that while on the homepage the widget shows some posts (the fake, test ones I have rated myself to play with OB), on other pages only the header of the widget is displayed, and nothing else.
What would you suggest I do?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the length of the questions.-

Hi Kate,
I am also looking to improve the page loading times for a blog I am still working on. I am using a tweaked version of a plugin for Wordpress called PHP Speedy, which combines all the scripts ad stylesheets in two single files (one for js, the other for css) which are also minified and gzipped for maximum performance. After reading your previous reply to the author of the question, I am going to try and add Outbrain script as well.
I can schedule a task which periodically checks whether your script has changed, however Is there any quick way to get some sort of notifications whenever you update it?
Thanks in advance :-)

Can't get it to workHi Dan,
cool stuff! I am working on my blog and this is simply an amazing addition. I am seeing a few issues though, perhaps because of my blog’s configuration:
1) I can’t see any “Tweet this” like buttons, once installed and activated the updated version of the plugin linked to in this page.
2) Is it possible to make “No Tweetbacks Yet” appear at the bottom of the post?
3) “Be the first to Tweet this post” sometimes links to the post itself, sometimes to Twitter passing the status. I think I read others’ comments above about the same.
4) I tried to tweet some test posts (when the “Be the first to Tweet this post” correctly links to Twitter), but I can’t see any tweetbacks.
5) The “My tweets” widget doesn’t seem to get updated.
For the 4) and 5), how often does the plugin automatically update the data?
Sorry for the many questions, but I’d really love to see this plugin working on my new blog!
I am using Wordpress 2.7.1 + Thesis Theme.
Many, many thanks in advance.-
