I followed the instructions to make sure I got my correct Goodreads numeric user ID. I entered it into the widget, selected the shelf I wanted, and clicked save. The user ID I entered disappeared and the widget is blank on my site.
The blog I need help with is trekkiebeth.wordpress.com.
What is the URL of your site, starting with http?
You followed exactly these instructions, ie only putting in the numerical component, not the whole line? http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/
Yes. I put in "3973575"
I've tried it 6 times now.

I checked, and the account is public.
Maybe Goodreads is just having issues and it will get fixed soon.
I'm having exactly the same issue!

Mine worked perfectly after trying quite a few times. I started out entering the entire ID but it did not work. The
My new problem is that the widget only works on Chrome... NOT Safari or Firefox, and I didn't bother trying anything else.
On these browsers it's just a box that says it needs a plug-in to work and that there is no plug-in available. What to do?
