  I saw something on another blog that I would like to add to mine. It gives me the opportunity to copy and paste the code, but I can’t figure out where it goes. Can anyone help me? It’s a neat little box that shows up on your sidebar that has a daily writing tip. Thank you.

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

  Which code specifically? You can display HTML code by putting it in between the Code tag when writing your widget in the HTML editor.

  Maybe this is too advanced for me. The clickable box on the site gave you the option to use it on your own blog. It told me to copy and paste. I don’t know yet how to write a widget in the HTML editor, I used the automatic widget page to set mine up, I think. Thx so much for the answer. Here’s the code:

  <center>
  <table width=”162″ border=”1″ cellpadding=”4″ cellspacing=”0″ bordercolor=”#000000″ bordercolorlight=”#ffffff” bordercolordark=”#000000″ bgcolor=”#F3B64B”>
  <tr>
  <td width=”160″><p align=”center”><img src=”http://bookproposals.homestead.com/WritingTipWhalin2.jpg” width=”148″ height=”54″ border=”0″>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript” SRC=”http://bookproposals.homestead.com/WritingTips.js”></SCRIPT>

  <span class=”style111″></span> </p>
  <center>

  Ah, this is easy to answer: all javascript is stripped out here for security reasons. Unless they have a non-javascript version, you won’t be able to use that widget on your site.
