1. Highly configurable widget

SearchPowerful Search

Results are centered on articles from your own site, and radiate to related sites and blogs. Graphically view what your peers are publishing on a given topic.

PledgesLightweight Pledging

Makes it easy for your visitors to help support your site. Button lets them pledge tips at any time, while auto-requests directly suggest pledges based on the visits a person has made (you configure the numbers). To facilitate micropayments and eliminate irritation, pledgers are only asked for their email (no credit card, etc.) at the time of the pledge; we aggregate their pledges for later, voluntary payment.

DebateBlogosphere Debates

Join in cross-site debates, or use the functionality for issues of local interest to you own site. You can optionally even challenge other communities. The structured, illuminating format gets to the crux of an issue. Get your community involved, from the comfort of your own site.
2. Claiming your RSS feed
Each result in our RSS search results includes a button to let people pledge a Tip in support of the source. We will actually accept payment of a pledge to a given source only if the owner of that RSS feed has claimed it. Claiming your RSS feeds is very easy and we encourage you to do so now!
Bottom Line: Take advantage of Cruxlux offerings to give visitors to your site novel, powerful features, improving retention and growth; and make it easier for your visitors and others to support your great work.
