The Related Content widget is the 'front door' widget to RichContent and works best in a sidebar that appears across your entire site or located beneath all of your own articles.

With what blogging or publishing systems will RichContent work?
RichContent widgets are enabled using JavaScript and work on any publishing system that supports JavaScript code in the rendered HTML. This includes WordPress, Blogger, Drupal, Joomla, Ning and many others.
How do I customize a widget?
Each widget has options you can set for things like the number of headlines to display or which widget functions to turn on. These are easily set when you retrieve your widget code. Please see the FAQs within the RichContent Control panel for more information.
Can I tweak the layout and CSS of my widgets?
Our widgets are designed to inherit the look of your own pages; however, as every site uses different CSS conventions, results may vary. Please see the FAQs within the RichContent Control panel for more information. The full article display page will appear in a generic ‘overlay box’ unless you create a new page on your site for the Landing page widget code.
Where does the content (articles, blog posts, and videos) come from?
RichContent displays articles, blogs, and videos from a selection of an extensive and growing library of professional sources. Sources include Demand Studios, leading websites such as eHow, Blogburst and their millions of top blogs, and premium brands such as the Encyclopedia Britannica and IAC. Over 3,000 of new pieces of content are added to the library every day, covering more than 300 categories including autos, business, entertainment, finance, food, health, sports, and travel.
Where should I put widgets for the best related matches?
The RichContent widget works best with larger bodies of content from which to draw related results. Try to make sure that the related content widget is placed on a page that has a substantial amount of content to crawl.
You can use RichContent on a page with less content by pointing the widget at keywords or other pages for contextualization. You can also place the widget on multiple pages, wherever you want the Related Content article links.
