can’t add my formspring box
-
Hello.
I tried to add several times my “formspring.me” box in the sidebar of my blog, but I had no success. I pasted the HTML code given by the website into the >”text” widget but even though all that appears is the link to the formspring page and not the widget itself. What should I do?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We cannot provide informed help without 1) a link to your blog, starting with http and 2) the exact code you’re trying to use. Paste it here between backticks so it displays properly.

Here it goes:
1) http://guilhermetakahashi.wordpress.com/
2) <iframe src=”http://www.formspring.me/widget/view/guitakahashi?&size=medium&bgcolor=%23fff&fgcolor=%23333″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” width=”180″ height=”275″ style=”border:none;”>http://www.formspring.me/guitakahashi</iframe>

There’s your problem: iframes are not allowed at WordPress.com for security reasons.
You will have to find a workaround. What, exactly, does the code do?

the code was supposed to display a box where anyone could type a question which would be submitted to my formspring.me page. And then I could answer it, so probably afterwards the answer would be posted in the blog as well

Well, you might be able to get people to click on a link instead, but you might consider using the Contact Form on a special page on your blog; it lets people email you. Then you can make a blog post out of your Q&A,
