  What kind of badge? What specifically is the code please?
  Note that the marquee code used on Blogger blogs can’t be used here (there’s a workaround). Javascript cannot be used and iframe codes c cannot be used for security reasons.

  Please see:

  In the event you want to make badges, there are free ways to make graphic badges and banners for promoting your website, business or event. If you are planning to create an award badge, a website badge or an event badge you can make your own and get the code for your friends so they can display it on their blogs too.

  Thank you so much for your quick response. I am new to blogging and would like to share my Instagram badge on my blog. I share my art on Instagram. I don’t understand code. I think it might be time to learn. I tried the Instagram code they gave me by placing it in a text widget. It didn’t work. You are so kind to respond to my “Help” request. B
