  Hello. Is it possible to add a flag counter to a sidebar? Is that considered a widget? I don’t see anywhere in my “widgets” that I can do that – it may be that my theme doesn’t have a widget to add traffic counters or where they are from or am I missing a way to add a flag counter….

  Thank you!

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

  I use a Flag Counter on one of my blogs. Go to the Flag Counter web site and get the plain html version, code and put it in a Text Widget. This is the version I used. http://flagcounter.com/index.html You can tweak the colors and such, I did not like the default.

  Turned out to be not very hard.

  I got the code earlier and then, didn’t know which widget, if any I had; would support it. I’ll go try the text widget.

  Thank you so much!

  I have the Flag Counter http://shimworld.wordpress.com/ but dare not mess with it anymore. The last time I reconfigured it and moved it about, everything reset and started all over from zero!

  Thank you everyone for your comments about this. The text widget worked just fine.

  I appreciate it!
