I have figured out how to get the BUMPzee! buttons to work consistently in WordPress 2.0 by using a wonderfully free and easy plug-in called AdSense Deluxe.

AdSense Deluxe was created to allow folks to install AdSense in their WordPress 1.5+ blogs.  The reason it was needed was that <script> and WordPress do not play nice together when you are writing posts.

Of course, you can write <script> if you are modifying the WordPress files directly.  But, the beauty of AdSense Deluxe is that it will allow you to add <script> directly to your written posts.

It is a bit clunky to use it with BUMPzee! because you need to create a new AdSense Block for each article, but let’s consider it a “stop gap” until Jangro can create a more user friendly way for us “WordPressers” to have the live BUMPzee! button functionality. 

You can download AdSense Deluxe from here.  The compressed folder comes with a readme.txt which is exceedingly easy to understand and to install.

Once you install AdSense into your plug-ins directory, you can go to the Options panel through the WP Dashboard and create a new AdSense Block for each article you wish to track.

For that matter, you can use AdSense to make adding ANY sort of <script> in your written articles – this should be extremely valuable to affiliates who need to use scripting and want it to be part of their content.  Check out http://www.NewsMasterNetwork.com under the article titled Full Coverage Car Insurance – Fact or Fantasy? you will see an InsureMe box installed directly into the article text using AdSense Deluxe to accomplish it.

I hope you find this useful – it is amazing what you remember after not sleeping for a couple of days!
