Congratulations to those of you that have taken the next step in blogging – having your very own blog.

Some of you are keen to have your own clustrmap so here’s some screenshots on how to embed it in your side bar instead of in a post.

Step 1:  Sign up to ClustrMaps (it’s easy, just have your url of your blog handy)

Step 2:  Sign in to the back end of your blog and click on Design

Step 3:  On the left you should see ClustrMaps  Add – Click on Add and a little blue box should appear over on the right hand side – (Make sure that you know which Sidebar you want it to be on as some themes have two sidebars).  Your ClustrMap widget should have all your details in it already (like your blog url) you may have to add an email account – incase you forget your password for ClustrMaps) and you will have to tick in the box to agree to terms and conditions of use.

Step 4:  VERY IMPORTANT  Don’t forget to click on Save Changes.

Your clustrmap should now be embedded in the sidebar of your blog.  Sometimes it takes a day for Clustrmap to update when you first sign up.  If you have any questions or you need some more help, just ask me in the morning before specials!
