  Hello,

  I am trying to host a giveaway on my blog using a Rafflecopter widget. For some reason, the widget will not embed, rather it just puts a link into my blog. Is there any way that this can be fixed so that the widget shows up on my post, and readers do not have to go to a third party link to enter?

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

  Hey there,

  Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. Either your visitors will have to go to another website to enter, or you can use one of our tools, such as the contact form or polldaddy, to have your readers enter the contest. Then, you can use a free, online, random number generator to pick a winner.

  Sorry I can’t be more helpful with your third-party widget, but if I can assist in any other way, please do let me know! Thanks much.
