  Hello, I am a fashion blogger and want to add a ShopSense widget to my side bar but do not know how. When using ShopSense they make it very easy to create the widget and even give me the embedding code but can’t figure out how to make that a widget in my side bar.

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

  Hey there, Victoria,

  Third party code cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  This type of code is only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. For instance, you can create your own widget, if you’d like. Here’s the instructions:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
