Add a custom widget??
-
An organization I am familiar with has produced an audio player designed to go into the sidebar of a blog, but I cannot figure out how to add the code to my blog so that it appears on the sidebar.
Would someone help?
Thanks!

You’d need to put the code in a text widget. But be aware that wordpress.com will strip out any flash or javascript in the code, so it’s quite likely that the widget won’t work.

Use vodpod to manage your flash widget, then WordPress allows vodpod embeding with it’s special tag. This post gives a good explanation/walkthrough. http://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/reviewweb-embeds-any-flash-widget-in-wordpress-paid-or-free-host-without-messy-plug-in-using-the-incredible-vodpod/

Just put the vodpod tag in your page or post. To get the proper format for WordPress, go to the desired video/embedded flash item on your vodpod page then:
1. Select Share (below video)
2. Choose WordPress
3. Fill in your WordPress info and…
> “Post to WordPress” will create a new Post
> Select “Get Code” to paste it directly into a WordPress PageHere’s the code for a music player that was flash-based:
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.1997442&w=425&h=350&fv=]And here it is on a WordPress “Page” (not a post) on my site:

UPDATE: This only works directly in a Page or Post. The sidebar text widget will not allow you to use the “special” tags (I.e, [vodpod], [youtube], etc.) Just wanted to clarify.
