  I want to add the Classroom2.0 badge to my sidebar. I have an embed code, paste it into a text widget, but upon saving almost all of the code goes away. Only thing that shows on the site is “Visit Classroom 2.0” I know little about HTML code, so I’d appreciate super specific advice on the fix. :) THANK YOU!

  Here is the embed code that is generated upon designing my badge:

  <embed wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/swf/badge.swf?v=4.4.1%3A23909" FlashVars="backgroundColor=0x666666&textColor=0x66CCCC&config=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.classroom20.com%2Fmain%2Fbadge%2FshowPlayerConfig%3F%26size%3Dmedium%26username%3D2rur6p6q8sfjl" width="206" height="174" bgColor="#666666" scale="noscale" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </embed><br /><small><a href="http://www.classroom20.com">Visit <em>Classroom 2.0</em></a></small><br />

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If your blog is hosted here at wordpress.COM then you cannot do it. That is flash, and flash is not allowed here due to security concerns.

  You can add an image to a text widget and link it to classroom 2.0 by HTML.
