• Download TheGoodBlogs widget here (If the widget title is too wide for your sidebar, use this one instead.)
• Unzip the file and place it in the plug-ins directory (usually it is wp-content/plugins or wp-content/plugins/widgets)
• Go to your Dashboard | Plugins and activate TheGoodBlogs widget.
• Finally go to your Dashboard | Presentation | Sidebar Widgets and drag TheGoodBlogs widget into your sidebar. Click on the customize icon and add an optional title and your blogid (numeric number found next to your blog name when you click on my blogs menu-item)
  
  
  

Troubleshooting:
• You activated TheGoodBlogs widget but can't see the Sidebar Widgets option under the Presentation menu.
  • Possible solution #1. If you don't have the sidebar widget plugin installed that controls all the sidebar widgets, you'll need to download it here, install and activate it. This will allow you to add and configure sidebar widgets like ours.
  • Possible solution #2. You've installed the sidebar widget plugin and verified that default and classic themes work with the Sidebar Widgets but you still don't see the Sidebar Widgets option under Presentation for your theme. (example, the K2 theme). Some themes have not been changed to support sidebar widgets. You need to register the sidebar in functions.php and add code to activate the dynamic_sidebar in sidebar.php. Each theme has a version of each file. For more information on how to change the theme, see Widgetizing Themes on the small modifications you need to make to your theme to support any sidebar widget.
• Did everything but the whole sidebar (not just TheGoodBlogs) does not appear. Your theme may not be set up to load the sidebar widget. Check in your themes directory if you have the following two files:
  
  
  
  functions.php (it should contain this code or very similar)
  
  
  <?php
  
  if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
  
     register_sidebar();
  
  ?>

  sidebar.php (it should have code that is contained within the dynamic sidebar block)
  
  

  <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
  
  
  
  
     Your sidebar code
  
  
  
  
  <?php endif; ?>
• Finally, here's a link on the Wordpress site that describes Wordpress sidebar widgets.
