Help & support

Installing the TrendMD recommendations widget is easy. After getting an account created and your content indexed, your Account Manager will send you your site-specific widget code.
You can then customize the widget through your dashboard

Setup takes as little as 10 minutes.

The TrendMD widget will automatically pick up the visual themes from your site (it will default to your existing CSS). However, both the appearance of the widget and the content presented by the widget can be fully customized using your dashboard.

You can also use the !important rule to alter the CSS for the widget.
Here is an example of what the widget looks like on BMJ:

In most cases, the widget tends to perform best if placed directly below the abstract with 2 columns or on the right hand side of the page with 1 column. The number of widget columns can be set easily through your dashboard
That said, we encourage you to A/B test to determine the optimal widget placement that yields the highest clickthrough rate.

There is no need to wait! The TrendMD widget code works the same way regardless of platform**. It's just 2 lines of javascript in the page footer and one line of HTML where you want the widget placed on the page. Additionally, the transition does not affect any of the backend work that TrendMD does to index the content and distribute your links across the network, so you will have complete continuity that you can follow through the resulting analytics in your TrendMD dashboard. **If you are switching onto or off Wordpress, contact us!

TrendMD will crawl and index your publicly available article pages on your website(s).
